PARAGRAPH WRITING Paragraph writing is a basic skill to all your other writing. A basic paragraph has to be AT LEAST 3 sentence long. The first sentence is a topic sentence. The second sentence is explanation. The third sentence should be evidence or information supporting the explanation. This is called the SEE methods.
However, when you are asked to write a long paragraph, you begin your paragraph with a topic sentence and provide explanation and evidence as you go through the writing, following a logical set of ideas from the most important to the least important. Long paragraphs can be any length from half a page of writing to what is called in the HSC, an extended answer, which can be 1000 words or more. Dont forget in providing evidence you should use connectives such as "therefore", "because", "as a result of", "but", "so", "despite" and "as well as". There are many others but if you use these they will always make you give evidence in your sentences. |
