Writing a paragraph Paragraph is 5-7 sentences on one idea: It needs: A Topic Sentence, Key Point (Supporting
sentence) and (sometimes a concluding sentence) • Main Idea of paragraph is usually at the beginning in a
Topic Sentence (main idea sentence)• Support the TS by: explaining logically, giving
examples, facts, and supported opinions• Use illustrates, anecdotes (stories), images to describe
and explain detail• Sometimes a concluding sentence will summarize, draw
a conclusion, or tie in with next point (transition to next paragraph )
Transitions
Transitional Expressions These words and phrases act as signposts for readers, telling which
direction the writing is about to move in. They usually come at the beginning of a sentence, where they show how a new thought relates to what has come before. Some common transitional expressions are listed below, according to the type of relationship they indicate.
contrast and qualification--on the contrary, however, in contrast, still, yet, nevertheless, on the other hand
continuity--besides, furthermore, in addition, also, secondly, to continue, next, similarly, likewise, moreover, indeed, again, in other words
cause/effect--thus, therefore, as a result, consequently, hence, for this reason
exemplification--for instance, for example, in fact, more specifically, to illustrate
