    (LIKE AN ICE CREAM CONE)
    EXAMPLE

    All life depends on light. Without


    light, plants cannot make their
    food. Since animals live on plants
    or on other animals that eat
    plants, animals cannot live without
    light.
    Topic Sentence:

    All life depends on light.


    (LIKE A PYRAMID)
    Example:
    In warm waters, a ship often leaves a trail behind
    at night. Fish and breaking waves also produce a
    faint glow The glow is usually caused by a kind
    plankton ,microscopic plants and animals called
    noctiluca. Some species of jellyfish also cause a
    trail of light They produce a faint blue light when
    disturbed .Many fish ,particularly deep sea fish,
    have organs that can produce light, too..This
    light results from the slow oxidation by some
    substance after the stimulus has been removed
    and is called phosphorescence.
    Topic Sentence:
    • This light results from the slow
    oxidation by some substance after
    the stimulus has been removed
    and is called phosphorescence.
    MAIN IDEA (Diamond Style)
    EXAMPLE:
    Plankton consists of small plants and
    animals that drift in the ocean. Planktomic
    animals can swim, but only weakly.
    Plankton is one of the three main groups
    of marine life. The other groups are the
    benthos, which are plants and animals
    living on the sea bed, and the nektons,
    which are free swimming animals. Some
    Planktons are plants (phytoplankton) and
    some are animals (zooplankton)
    Topic Sentence:
    • Plankton is one of the three main
    groups of marine life.

    EXAMPLE
    The personal essay is varied and elastic. In
    fact, it has no outward signs or pattern by
    which it can be recognized like the drama
    or the short story. Nor has it any wiser
    quality that can always be looked for and
    identified with like the story element in
    narrative poem. Each essay reflects its
    writer’s mood and voices his feelings.
    Thus, like a lyric poem, a personal essay is
    said to be indefinite.
    Topic Sentence:
    • The personal essay is varied and
    elastic. Personal essay is said to be
    indefinite.
    (Implied Structure)
    MAIN IDEA
    EXAMPLE:
    A flatfish looks just like any other fish when
    it is born. But as it grows, the eyes move
    to one side of the body, which becomes
    flattened. The fish normally lies almost
    invisible on the sea bed, so that other
    animals looking for food cannot easily see
    it. Many flatfish are found on the
    continental shelf or on the sand banks in
    the shallower parts of the sea. Some
    flatfish, however, live in the deep abyss of
    the ocean.
