Paragraph Getting started



Getting started means getting organized and at Paragraph Organizer, you will be taught just that. To start well is a vital part of the writing process which requires
critical thinking and lots of practice. It is important to:
Analyze the information that you have, to understand what is being 
    asked in the assignment

Think about the information that you know about the subject and decide
    what is relevant

Decide which information you will use and where it will be most effective

Once you know and understand the paragraph structure, you need to plan well and quickly. The better the planning, the better the paragraph. Read below to know 
more about paragraph writing and what does a paragraph do to make your assignment a success.

It supports your ideas:
The purpose of the paragraph is to show that you can support your ideas with 
specific examples and evidence. If you have no support for your ideas, you 
generalize which leads to a vague and imprecise assignment. Use concrete, 
everyday words to explain and illustrate your ideas, and abstract, specific words 
to show how you interpret the support and evidence you present:

Abstract words organize ideas ("concentration of economic activity")
Concrete words illustrate ideas ("merchants' shops, storehouses, mills")
Repetition of key words create coherence ("concentration")

It captivates the readers:
You organize and sequence the material for a paragraph just the way you 
organize a paper. Find a logical pattern that the reader will be able to follow and 
build to a point of emphasis. If the logic is strong, the reader would be 
captivated for the rest of the assignment and would follow your line of thought.

It takes them through to the end:
However, the reader can't follow your line of thought unless each sentence leads smoothly and logically to the next. Consistency plays an important part in making 
your paper a success otherwise the reader will not be interested in going
beyond a couple of paragraphs at the most. Use repetition and transition words 
to create connections and make sure that grammar errors don't break down the coherence of your writing.
