Topic Sentence Exercise

Re-arrange the following sentences into the correct sequences for a paragraph. Afterward, in your notes, describe why you re-ordered them the way that you did. 

Exercise One

1. After the Watts uprising, committees were assigned to study the causes and make recommendations. These were composed of the "experts on Negroes," the "qualified."

2. I am not opposed to the presence on such committees of intellectuals and professionals or merely making a parallel objection to poverty boards that don't include the poor. 

3. The three criteria mentioned here -- money, who you know, and especially education -- are what people mean when they use the word qualified.

4. My objection is to the basic approach, which excludes the unqualified.
