Apply Revision Strategies to Topic Sentences
Narrowing the subject too much results in the other extreme, a topic sentence so limited that it leaves nothing to disucss. For example, what could anyone say about the following topic sentence?
The college library has a large-print copy of Romeo and Juliet for the visually impaired.
This sentence is a statement of fact. Facts provide good support for topic sentences, but a fact is too narrow to serve as a topic sentence. To write a topic sentence you can discuss in a paragraph, you could broaden the statement of what you will show:
Our community college library provides various instructional equipment for the visually impaired.
