 Here is a link to the exercise we did in class 
Review the structure of the paragraph (unscrambled). Pay careful attention to the fluidity of the paragraph. Note how each sentence leads into the next; each one building in support of the topic sentence. If you read the sentences out of order your paragraph will not make sense.  If you remove one of the sentences from the paragraph your paragraph will lack fluidity.
