1- What is a Paragraph?
A paragraph is a group of sentences that are all about one thing.
- Writers often put the topic in the first sentence.
- The topic is usually repeated several times in the paragraph
2- Topics of Paragraphs:
In English, most paragraphs ( and longer passages ) have a topic. The topic of a paragraph tells what the paragraph is about. When you are reading , you should always look for the topic. If you know the topic will understand better.
Writing the topic of a paragraph:
- The topic should tell what the paragraph is about.
- It shouldn't be too general or specific.
3- Main Ideas in a Paragraph:
The main idea is the writer's idea about the topic. The main idea gives you a more complete understanding of the topic. When you are reading, you should first find the topic. Then ask yourself, "What does the writer want to say about the topic?"
Writing the main idea of a paragraph:
The first sentence in a paragraph often, but not always, includes the main idea. You may need to use parts of several sentences to write the main idea.
When you write the main idea of a paragraph , it should:
- tell the writer's idea about the topic
- be general enough for all the ideas and information in the paragraph
- not refer to idea or information that are not in the paragraph
4- Finding supporting Facts and ideas:
- A paragraph also includes facts and ideas that support ( explain or relates to) the main idea. They help make the write's ideas stronger and clearer. Supporting facts and ideas can be examples of something or parts of an explanation.
