If we were given the task of writing an essay on the topic: ‘Food allows us to celebrate our lives’ we might choose, in one of our paragraphs, to focus on the idea that ‘sharing a meal with family and friends is the perfect way to bond and show our love for each other.’

Therefore, ‘sharing a meal with family and friends is the perfect way to bond and show our love for each other’ becomes the topic sentence.

So what would we discuss now?

We need evidence and examples. We could talk about birthday dinners, Christmas dinners, certain types of foods that you share with family and friends etc

Then to finish off your paragraph you need a link back to topic “Therefore, the fact that sharing a meal allows us to sit around a table together and enjoy each other’s company means that we bond and show our appreciation for each other.’

Your task now- is to create a paragraph like the one above on ANY topic you wish- using the TEEL structure explained above. and covered in prior bites.

Then, following the same structure, write a paragraph on this topic from Camel Rider.

Prue Mason shows in Camel Rider that friendship can happen in the most unlikely circumstances.

Don’t forget that your evidence section requires quotes from the novels
