A paragraph

A Paragraph is a group of sentences that show the student’s ideas, opinions, explanation or procedure about certain topic.  The majority of the professors need the students to write paragraphs.  This requires a process to be followed.  

To have an effective paragraph we need to follow some of these steps:

        --Write a BRAINSTORMING (a paper full of ideas written in phrases or words) in this part of the process, it is not necessary to write sentences directly.  At the beginning the professor can give a topic which will be too broad.

   - Narrow the topic with ONLY the most important ideas you choose from the brainstorming.

      -After you have selected the topic, you need to begin writing an OUTLINE in which you write just PHRASES.  Check capitalization in the outline. (figure)

4.   Following the outline, you write complete sentences.

Note:  Each of the steps have different topics, but you just follow the format of each step.

The paragraph must have:

-main idea or topic sentence: It is usually the first idea in the sentence.  This idea will determine what the paragraph will be about.

-supporting details:  those ideas that help the main idea to get more shape.  They complement the paragraph.  They are normally at the middle of the paragraph.

-conclusion:  the concluding sentence is usually paraphrased in this part of the paragraph.  It is a closing thought, idea or sentence.
