Lessons 27-33
Now it's time to move from narrative writing, which is based on sentences, to informative writing, which is based on paragraphs. We'll show you six ways to structure your paragraphs, how to get from one point to the next, and how to be super detailed in order to clinch your presentation. PLUS introductions, vocabulary, semicolons, correlative conjunctions, and "flow." And as a bonus, two additional lessons offer specific "tricks" that you can use immediately on Common Core, SAT and ACT tests, and college essays. This is how you score the points.
