01
Introduction & Objectives — Developing Paragraphs
Today you’ll learn how to build strong paragraphs: write precise topic sentences, keep unity, organize ideas logically, use transitions, place sentences effectively, decide whether to add/revise/delete, and craft purposeful conclusions.

05
Lightning Round Mini Quiz ⚡ — Unity & Relevance
Quick practice selecting, revising, or deleting sentences to preserve unity and avoid redundancy.

Lightning Round Mini Quiz ⚡ — Transitions & Cohesion
Targeted items choosing or improving transitions to reflect real logical relationships.

Mini problems inserting a sentence at the optimal location or reordering sentences to restore coherence.

Purpose-Driven Edits: Add, Revise, or Delete?

Rapid SAT-style items testing whether an edit improves focus, precision, and cohesion given a specific purpose.
