TIQA Writing
My grandmother had an
ugly dog, TIQA.
Remembering this name,
will help you write an
awesome paragraph!
Topic Sentence
• Normally the first sentence of your
paragraph!
• It tells the reader exactly what the
paragraph is about.
• Ex’s: Some people feel that beauty is a
prerequisite for true love—a lover must
believe that their significant other is the
most beautiful person on the face of the
Earth, but Shakespeare shows us this is
not true.
Introduction
• The introduction sentences summarize what
is happening in the story or stories you are
writing about.
• Ex: Shakespeare shows us two people with
different opinions in his poem, Sonnet 130,
and in Act II, scene i of Romeo and Juliet.
In Act II, scene i he shows Romeo
showering Juliet with his affection.
Quote
• Steal some words from the play short story
or poem that you are analyzing.
• When Romeo proclaims, “But soft! What
light through yonder window breaks? It is
the East and Juliet is the sun!” he is telling
the audience that she is beautiful (1023).
Your Opinions!
Analysis
• Include your opinions after the quote—this
is your analysis
• Ex: Romeo drones on and on about how
fair and lovely Juliet is. He constantly
reminds his reader that she is the most
beautiful woman in the world.
Transition-• Transition to discussing a second example
and quote for the paragraph.
Ex: Yet, it seems that Shakespeare himself
does not agree with Romeo.
Introduce
• Describe the new situation after you have
transitioned!
• In Sonnet 130, Shakespeare shows us a man
that does not believe his lover is beautiful.
Quote
• Steal the words from the literature again!
• If he felt she was beautiful, he would not
have written, “My mistress eyes are nothing
like the sun; Coral is far more red than her
lips,” (1-2).
Analysis
• Include your opinions again
• Ex: This shows us that the man believes his
lover is hideous, yet he says that his love is
true anyway.
