Paragraphs and Topic Sentences
A paragraph is a series of sentences that are organized and coherent, and
are all related to a single topic. Almost every piece of writing you do that is
longer than a few sentences should be organized into paragraphs. This is
because paragraphs show a reader where the subdivisions of an essay begin and
end, and thus help the reader see the organization of the essay and grasp its
main points.Paragraphs can contain many different kinds of information. A paragraph
could contain a series of brief examples or a single long illustration of a
general point. It might describe a place, character, or process; narrate a
series of events; compare or contrast two or more things; classify items into
categories; or describe causes and effects. Regardless of the kind of
information they contain, all paragraphs share certain characteristics. One of
the most important of these is a topic sentence.
