This is an adaptation of HY's PPT. It is targeted at Y1 theatre / AME students towards the end of the 1st semester. It helps them distinguish between casual and academic writing.
This is a modification of the article on the same topic. The first slide shows how the various paragraph relate to one another. The main difference in my version is that I don't think that every paragraph needs a conclusion. Rather, there should be a link sentence to relate it to the next paragraph and more distantly the concluding paragraph.
The next slides show two alternative ways in which supporting sentences can relate to the topic sentence.
