Order for Introductory Paragraph
First Sentences: Topic Sentence, followed by elaboration or explanation of the topic
Next: RDF's (One sentence for each or combine in one sentence)
Final: What are you going to show us


Example
         The best place to do homework is large, flat, and clean. Homework takes a lot of space, and I need room to spread out. This is why I do my homework in my room.There is enough room for all my stuff, it is quiet, and I can close the door. 


Topic sentence rewritten with an occasion/position statement (check the writing cheat sheet).
When I need to do homework, I go for an area that is large, flat, and clean.
