Unit 1: Session 7: Construction of a Paragraph

What is a Paragraph?

A Paragraph is a group of sentences that describes one idea and prevent text from becoming overwhelming.

What is a Good Paragraph?

Good paragraphs means– if you have different ideas and you want to write those ideas, you have to change paragraphs for particular ideas.

To write good paragraphs, we should remember some major points. These points are defined as steps on here-:

Step 1: Write an Outline for the Paragraph

First thing you should do while constructing a paragraph is : write an outline of the paragraph.

The outline of the paragraph should include :

  • the topic (on which the paragraph is to be written)
  • supporting information of the topic

Example

Topic – Impact of Population Explosion

Outline

  • Rate of mortality has decreased
  • Increased requirement of land
  • Leads to cutting of forests
  • Increased Carbon dioxide production
  • More need of trees to absorb increased CO2 .
  • Deadlock

Step 2: Write the topic Sentence

Write a sentence that describes the topic –

The ever-increasing population of our planet is causing immense pressure on our environment and ecosystem impacting us in a great way.

Step 3: Write Supporting Sentences for Each Outline

You have to write at least one supporting sentence for each point in the outline. You can use facts or examples to support your points.

Step 4: Write the concluding Sentence

Finally write a concluding sentence to sum up the idea of the paragraph.

Example-:

This way the ever-increasing population is leading us to a condition where we shall not be left with either space to live or air to breathe.

Step 5: Combine all the Lines to get your Final paragraph

Now combine all the lines of steps 2,3 and 4 to get your final combined paragraph.
