Remember how I said not to shove that ENTIRE hamburger into your mouth? Well, also remember that this is also true of topic sentences. You don't want to choke your reader, do you? For the sake of time, I think we should say you don't want to. :)
Now, getting back to business...there are two ways to trim those HUGE topic sentences:
1) Break the sentence down into smaller sentences. Your reader will thank you and you'll do much better on tests, quizzes, and assignments because your writing will be so much clearer!
2) Summarize what the entire topic sentence is about and use the extra information in the rest of the paragraph!
We are going to practice this again tomorrow in class, so come ready with questions!
