A paragraph is a miniature essay. The same rules that
apply for a well written essay apply for a well crafted
paragraph.
A paragraph must contain only one
idea.
It must be made up of at least three
sentences.
The first sentence is known as the topic
sentence. The topic sentence must introduce the idea which is to be elaborated in the
paragraph.
The next two or three sentences must expand the
main idea of the paragraph.
The last sentence must conclude
the paragraph and look forward to the next paragraph.
Each
paragraph is a unit of the larger essay. Each paragraph must be linked to the main theme
of the larger essay.
Each paragraph must be coherent and
contribute to the coherence of the essay of which it is a part.
