Improving Flow with the Known-New Contract

my notes ( ? )

At the beginning of a sentence, put “known” information: ideas that you have already mentioned or concepts you can reasonably assume your reader is already familiar with.
At the end of a sentence, put the newest, most unfamiliar information. This is often the information you want to emphasize and perhaps expand on in your next sentence.
