Explain Paragraph construction .
Answers
Paragraphs are actually organized much like persuasive papers are. Just like a paper has a thesis statement followed by a body of supportive evidence, paragraphs have a topic sentence followed by several sentences of support or explanation. Just like all the paragraphs in your paper should connect to your thesis statement, all the sentences in your paragraph should connect to the topic sentence. If you look at this paragraph, for example, you will see that it starts with a clear topic sentence letting you know that paragraphs follow a structure similar to that of papers. The next two sentences explain how a paragraph is like a paper, and then two more sentences show how this paragraph follows that structure. All of these sentences are clearly connected to the main idea. If you ever notice your sentences no longer relate to the topic sentence or that your paragraph has suddenly switched to a new idea, you likely have two paragraphs that need to be split up.
