In my personal experience, this works well with thesis statements and introductory paragraphs. I have had experience with National History Day, and my teacher made all of us in Stage 1 write papers about our topics. She told us that the thesis statement (the main/larger idea), goes at the end of the intro paragraph, which states all the supporting details.
However, there are many instances, and are not that hard to think of! If you want an example of an instance to see, let me know!
