Paragraph writing

ParagraphsA paragraph is a group of sentences that work together in unity to explain an idea. A paragraph is a group of sentences that work to develop a unit of thought.A paragraph is a selection of sentence which is related because they are all talking about the same thing, or are dealing with a single topic.Paragraphing permits you to subdivide material into parts and arrange those parts into a unified whole that effectively communicates its message.Paragraphs can be classified as:1. TopicalA topical paragraph is basically a paragraph made up of a group of sentences arranged around one main idea, or one topic. This is the type of paragraph you are most familiar with. Topical paragraphs are probably the only type most student think of as a paragraph. They are also called developmental paragraphs or body paragraphs. They are usually found after the introductory paragraph and before the concluding paragraph.Topical paragraphs consist of a statement of a main idea and specific, logical support for that main idea.Characteristics of a topical Paragraphi)     Must have a topic sentence which should appear early in the first few lines of the paragraph preferably the 1st, 2nd or3rd line. The topic sentence tells you what the paragraph is about. Because there's only one topic developed in each paragraph, there should only ever be one topic sentence. The topic sentence of a paragraph is developed, or built on, by the addition of supporting information and details.ii) Unityiii)    Coherence iv)Grammaticalv)    Order (Direction of Movement)2. Special: Introductory, concluding and transitoryIntroductionsIntroductions or introductory paragraphs perform very important functions. First, they must attract the reader, influencing him/her to read the remainder of the essay. Second, they must not only introduce readers to the essay topic but they must also limit that topic and identify the writer's attitude toward the topic. Finally, they must provide readers with information regarding what is to be expected within the remainder of the essay.Every paper you write should have a main point, a main idea, or central message. The argument(s) you make in your paper should reflect this main idea. The sentence that captures your position on this main idea is what we call a thesis statement. The thesis statement comes in the introductory paragraph and must be concise and well-written.A thesis statement must come early in your essay, e.g. in the introduction. This will enable your reader to:·     Establish your position and·     Give your reader a sense of direction.Your thesis statement should be·     clear·      specific·     Short·     In line with your argument·     Must indicate your positionTypes of introduction Paragraphs1.       The introduction must be a road map for the rest of your essay2.       Anecdotal3.       Regular Triangular4.       Inverted Triangle5.       Summary6.       A wise word7.       Provoking question8.       Corrective introduction9.       Historical ReviewConcluding ParagraphThis should be the last paragraph in the essay. Its purpose is to bring the essay to a graceful end. The concluding paragraph gives the writer one final chance to leave a lasting impression on the reader.Ways of writing a concluding paragraph:·    A brief summary of the paper's main points.·    Restate the main idea of your essay, or your thesis statement·      A provocative question.·      A quotation.·     Evoke a vivid image.·     Call for some sort of action.·     End with a warning.·     Universalize (compare to other situations).·     Suggest results or consequences.It is important to have a strong conclusion, since this is the last chance you have to make an impression on your reader. The goal of your conclusion isn’t to introduce any new ideas, but to sum up everything you’ve written. Specifically, your conclusion should accomplish three major goals:Transitional paragraphThe transitional paragraph marks a transition in the paper from one section to another, or from one thought to another, one sub-topic to another. It indicates to the reader either that there will be a change in idea or topic or that there will be a movement from a broad topic to a specific one. These types of paragraphs usually are small and consist of one double or multiple sentences which begins with a connector or a gerundive.
