Power Writing
1st power = Main ideas, topic sentences and topic paragraphs
2nd power = Major details that explain main ideas
3rd power = Minor details that elaborate upon or clarify major details
Words, phrases, sentences, and paragraphs all have power as they relate to the other words, phrases, sentences and paragraphs.
A 1st power word serves as the most general, the “umbrella” word under which 2nd power words belong
