PARAGRAPHS Paragraphs are organized, unified and coherent. Each supporting paragraph has a controlling idea
(which may be expressed in a topic sentence). In supporting paragraphs, topic idea helps further the

topic and purpose. Words are appropriate and well chosen. Writer avoids jargon. Writer seems to be
