– Your topic sentences should point backward in that they prove part of the thesis, and they should also point forward in that they are a predictor of what will be discussed in particular paragraphs.
– Check for logical coherence in your paper. Link your ideas together by using themes, transitions, and/or inserting phrases or subordinate clauses when appropriate.
– Your conclusion should drive home the main idea of the essay and summarize key concepts that you want your reader to take away from your essay.
