    The document discusses developing ideas in writing by providing thorough explanations and examples. It notes that students often lose marks because they have good ideas but don't write enough about each one. It recommends continuing to write about an idea until you can no longer say more, similar to how one keeps playing dominoes until they cannot continue. The document then provides an example of an underdeveloped paragraph and expands on the ideas more fully.
