The idea
The anchor says an examples essay supports and defends its thesis in a series of paragraphs, each illustrating one way the thesis can be supported. Recognising this shape tells you that the paragraphs are parallel rather than sequential, so their order carries little weight.
In practice
Parallel paragraphs, not a sequence.
Where people slip
Order matters little in this shape.
