A good paragraph must have four key components; unity, order, and coherence which should all revolve around the topic. You must also have completeness because too much information can overwhelm your reader and too little information can annoy them. You need to break up each sentence getting as descriptive as you can. The audience is always looking for something new to grab on to. Another thing is you want to stay on topic, and don't drift away so that your reader follows.Austin Koepkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16768823902260658326noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7798465608146121928.post-47160884101305801492012-10-18T12:50:18.096-07:002012-10-18T12:50:18.096-07:00That is the same thing that really jumped out at m...That is the same thing that really jumped out at me when reading those pages.

You must start with a topic sentence that presents your main idea. Throughout the paragraph, the idea must be developed, using unity. When developing your idea, be sure to be complete in the amount of information you provide your audience so that they understand. Secondly, you want to make sure your paragraph follows an order so that it is not random, but organized. To help the order and flow of your paragraph, use coherence so the reader can move easily from one sentence to the next. A good paragraph would include all of these things.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03107082331701764514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7798465608146121928.post-85499076105587736182012-10-09T10:57:05.488-07:002012-10-09T10:57:05.488-07:00I have updated the grades for this blog entry (#1)...I have updated the grades for this blog entry (#1) as of 10/9/12.

The first part you need is a topic to write about. Once you have that,the paragraph requires unity, which is the development of your idea. You must include a topic sentence that shows your main idea. The next major requirement would be completeness; this means that you don't have too much or too little information. Your sentences must have order.

Well I learned that there is many elements in writing a paragraph. You must have a topic sentence that presents the information. Secondly, you must complete the paragraph using relevant information. Thirdly, you need to have consistent order throughout the whole paragraph. Lastly, you need coherence. You can do that by using different elements, markers, and references in the paragraph.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13299188374586888496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7798465608146121928.post-26904066504081840052012-10-05T12:59:50.341-07:002012-10-05T12:59:50.341-07:00Good comments so far.

They help split a large concept into smaller, more organized sections. Each paragraph discusses a new smaller idea which transitions coherently into different, related ideas to form an organized whole. Topic sentences are key to beginning a new idea. Readers are most alert when they first walk into a paragraph and need to know what is happening. Introduce your concepts to avoid going off on a tangent and confusing the reader.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04064928042826315381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7798465608146121928.post-30063026849984733242012-10-03T12:47:50.665-07:002012-10-03T12:47:50.665-07:00You learn a lot from reading these pages.

If you don't, the readers would be confused and wouldn't be interested in your story anymore. A couple good paragraphs makes a great story, just make sure you stick to your topic!

They're topical paragraphs and special paragraphs. They both have differences which our topical paragraph is one that develops a topic or idea and special paragraphs is the one that introduces or concludes a piece of writing or provides a transition between major parts. The paragraphs that you write serve several purposes for you and your readers. You don't want to make your reader get bored easily either, so that's mainly why you should have each separate paragraph connect to your thesis. It should always have a certain order to your paper having parts. You always need to have a topic sentence which states the purpose of the paragraph.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03056855446830251882noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7798465608146121928.post-4537641578241759462012-10-02T07:59:47.139-07:002012-10-02T07:59:47.139-07:00I have read all of your posts and comments.

The first one is doing you topic or opening statement with what your main topic for the paragraph is. The second one is having your paragraph on one subject but not having the topic sentence till closer to the end. The third one basically just puts all the topics and ideas in order by numbering facts or points.

These pages focus on paragraphs and how to form them in a correct way. If you want a good story that people want to read, you need a good plot wIth ordered paragraphs. You need good descriptive words so the reader can feel like theyre there. You have to keep the story rolling so that the reader doesn't get bored. Always restate in different ways the main thesis statement so that the reader can be reminded of what they are reading. Also, sentences themselves are crucial. You need to break up each sentence getting as descriptive as you can. The audience is always looking for something new to grab on to.
