Answers
Explanation:
If you’ve ever written an essay for school, you may have heard of a TEEL paragraph. These are paragraphs that follow a defined and logical structure, helping you present your information in a clear, well-organized manner. To write a TEEL paragraph, you’ll need to include a Topic sentence, an Explanation, an Example or Evidence to support the topic, and a Linking sentence to put it all in context.
1. Start with a topic sentence (T). The T in TEEL stands for “Topic.” The topic sentence introduces the main idea of your paragraph or summarizes the argument you are trying to make. The topic sentence usually comes first in the paragraph.[1]
Keep your topic sentence clear and concise, so that the reader can tell exactly what the paragraph is about. For example, your topic sentence might be “A zebra is a type of mammal.”
