First Sentences

I wrote down each of my first sentences and evaluated how well they supported and connected to my paper in its entirety. When I looked at my essay from a different perspective I noticed an important flaw. Although my topic sentences seem to set up what is going to be in the paragraph – by directly relating to the topic – I didn’t do an adequate job of connecting my ideas throughout the paper. Instead I just switched from one idea to the next. While revising my essay I need to work on fluency between my ideas and the first way I can improve on that would be by insuring my topic sentences give both a clear understanding and a direct relation to each thought.
