How to Write a Paragraph
Prewriting a Paragraph
The prewriting stage is when you think carefully and organize your ideas for your paragraph before you begin writing. There are six steps involved in this process. They are the following:
Think carefully about what you are going to write. Ask yourself: "What question am I going to answer in this paragraph or essay? How can I make this paragraph interesting? What facts can be stated to support this topic?
Write your answers to the above questions and do not need to spend a lot of time doing this. Just write enough to help you remember why and how you are writing.
Collect facts related to your topic. Write down facts that will help you answer your questions.
Write down your own ideas. Ask yourself: What other things can I include about this topic? Why should people be interested in this topic? Why is this topic important?
Find the main idea of your paragraph: Chose the most important point. If you cannot decide which is the most important one, just chose one and stick to it throughout your paragraph.
Organize your facts and ideas to develop your topic, find the best way to tell the reader about it. Decide which facts will support the main idea.
Writing a Paragraph
The writing stage is when you turn your ideas into sentences and you communicate them. Some important steps are the following:
Write a topic sentence, some supporting sentences, and one closing sentence
Make sure that the sentences are clear, simple, and they express what you really mean
Focus on the main idea of your paragraph
Re-read what you wrote and see if the idea is clear and you can read it with ease
Editing a Paragraph
The editing stage is when you check your paragraph for mistakes and correct them. Do not forget to do the following:
Check your grammar and spelling
Read your text again and make sure each sentence makes sense
See if your paragraph is interesting to read
