Idea — A well-formed paragraph has a topic sentence, supporting evidence or detail, and a closing sentence. This structure transfers across genres.
Example — Topic: ‘Commuting by bike saves money.’ Evidence: ‘A monthly bus pass costs €60; a bike lasts ten years.’ Close: ‘The arithmetic is simple.’
Try — Give learners a topic sentence. Ask them to write two supporting sentences and one closing sentence. Swap and check structure, not content.
