This document discusses supporting sentences in paragraphs. It explains that supporting sentences are the middle sentences that explain or prove the topic sentence. Supporting sentences make up the largest part of the paragraph, like the filling in a hamburger. All sentences in a paragraph must be about the one main idea according to the rule of unity. The document provides examples of good and bad paragraphs to demonstrate how supporting sentences should relate back to the topic sentence.

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

1. Module 2
Supporting Sentences
Information taken from: Butler, L. Fundamentals of
Academic Writing. Longman & Hogue, A. (2008).
First Steps in Academic Writing. Longman.
In Module 1 you learned about topic sentences. In this
module you will learn about supporting sentences.
2. Parts of a Paragraph
A paragraph has 3 main parts:
1. Topic sentence
2. Supporting sentences
3. Concluding sentence
3. Supporting Sentences
The middle sentences in a paragraph are
supporting sentences.
Supporting sentences explain or prove the
idea in the topic sentence.
The supporting sentences are the biggest part of
a paragraph, just as the filling is the biggest part
of a hamburger. They are the filling in our
paragraph “hamburger”.
4. Important!
Here is an important rule to remember when
you write supporting sentences:
A paragraph must follow the rule of unity. All
the sentences in a paragraph are about ONE
main idea.
5. Activity
Look at the following
paragraphs and decide if
they are good or bad
paragraphs.
6. Paragraph #1
Is this a good or a bad paragraph?
Are all sentences related to the topic sentence?
Employers look for three qualities in their employees. First of all,
employers want workers to be dependable. My friend John is
very dependable and I am dependable, too. Second,
employers want workers who are responsible. Can the boss give
the worker a Project to do and know that it will be done well?
Everybody should be responsible, even when you are at school
or at university. Third, employers look for workers who can work
well with others. I had a friend who couldn’t work with other
people and we always left him to work alone. To sumarize,
employers look for dependable, responsible team players.
7. Paragraph #2
Is this a good or a bad paragraph?
Are all sentences related to the topice sentence?
Employers look for three qualities in their employees. First of all,
employers want workers to be dependable. That is, they want
workers who come to work every day. Second, employers
want workers who are responsible. Can the boss give the
worker a Project to do and know that it will be done well?
Third, employers look for workers who can work well with others.
The ability to get along with coworkers is important to be
successful of a business. To sumarize, employers look for
dependable, responsible team players.
8. Answer
The good paragraph is:
Paragraph 2.
All sentences are related to the main idea.
The bad paragraph is:
Paragraph 1.
The following sentences do not support the topic sentence:
• My friend John is very dependable and I am dependable, too.
• Everybody shoudl be responsible, even when you are at school
and at university.
• I had a friend who couldn’t work with other people and we
always left him to work alone.
Even though they seem to be related to being dependable,
responsible and working with other people, these sentences do not
related to qualities in workers. They are comments from the authors
experience, and do not fit the paragraph.
9. Outlining
Making an outline, is a part of pre-writing. Once
you have your ideas about your topic, you need
to organize them. An outline helps you do this.
10. Model of Simple
Outline
Flight Attendants
Topic Sentence Employer look for three qualities in
their employees.
First main point A. To be dependable
Second main point B. To be responsible
Third main point C. To work well with others
Concluding Sentence To sumarize, employers look for
dependable, responsible team
players.
11. Writer’s Tip
When you write an outline, try to make the
main points (A, B, C and so on) the same – all
adjectives, all nouns, all verb phrases, or all
sentences.
