So remember a few weeks ago, we were discussing possible topic sentences for your senior project? We mentioned that the most important point to make about topic sentences is that having a strong first sentence is important because it presents the main idea of your paragraph. **//Mr. Otis used the following example://**
 * "The Civil War was the most gruesome and violent conflict in American history with many courageous soldiers, and Union General George H. Thomas was perhaps the greatest soldier to fight in the war."**

This is a good topic sentence because it: 1. puts forward an argument 2. it uses some words that can be a part of a thesis (which means you are answering a question about your topic) 3. it presents to the reader information about the subject matter
