(Second Meeting) Descriptive Paragraph



Paragraphs are comprised of sentences, but not random sentences. A paragraph is a group of sentences organized around a central topic or a paragraph is sentence that related to one topic. In fact, the cardinal rule of paragraph writing is to focus on one idea. A paragraph should be neither too short nor too long. A good paragraph in exercise should be 5-6 sentences long. As a general rule, avoid single-sentence paragraphs. A good paragraph is characterized by topic sentence, unity, coherence, and adequate development. 

Topic sentence:
Motivates the reader to want to read more and lets readers know the focus of a paragraph

Unity:
State the main idea of the paragraph in a clearly constructed topic sentence. Make sure each sentence is related to the central thought. Unity in a paragraph begins with the topic sentence. Every paragraph has one single, controlling idea that is expressed in its topic sentence, which is typically the first sentence of the paragraph. A paragraph is unified around this main idea, with the supporting sentences providing detail and discussion. In order to write a good topic sentence, think about theme and all the points that want to make. Decide which point drives the rest, and then write it as topic sentence.

Coherence:
Arrange ideas in a clear, logical order. Provide appropriate transitions to the subsequent paragraph. Coherence is the quality that makes writing understandable. Sentences within a paragraph need to connect to each other and work together as a whole. One of the best ways to achieve coherency is to use transition words. These words create bridges from one sentence to the next. Can use transition words that show order (first, second, third); spatial relationships (above, below) or logic (furthermore, in addition, in fact). Also, in writing a paragraph, using a consistent verb tense and point of view are important ingredients for coherency.

Adequate development:
Develop your paragraphs with specific details and examples.
