Sections 17.3-17.6
This whole chapter is going over how to correctly write in closed-form prose and techniques to help you make an effective argument using this form of writing. Section four is all about titles and introductions. We've already gone over this section so I don't think I need to repeat myself.
Section three goes over how to start the argument, by making lists and outlines, and throwing together chunks of what you know and slowly whittling away at them. After that they say to "nutshell" your argument together, which is to essentially throw all the ideas  and bases for the argument together, which helps you create and manage a thesis that flows through the whole paper. Next is the structure, with which they list multiple tools to help visualize the structure of your paper which include: Outlines, Tree Diagrams, and a couple other personal methods.
Section five is about Topic sentences for paragraphs. Topic sentences in paragraphs are essentially just thesis statements that exist for just that particular paragraph and sub topic, rather than something that pertains to the whole paper. They then go on to talk about placement of topic sentences (they should always go at the beginning) and how to revise a paragraph to fit the topic sentence, and vice versa. Section six tackles transitions and guideposts, meaning the travel from one paragraph to the next using transition words. next they go over major transitions which are sometimes sentences of their own. In this it is explained and understood how you need to focus on trying to tie in the transition to the next paragraphs topic sentence.
