Writing Effective Paragraphs

Writing effective paragraphs is easy once you know what to do. Use the “Point-Proof-Explanation-Summary” method to paragraph writing and watch your writing improve! 

An effective paragraph includes:

• a topic sentence that expresses the main point of the paragraph.
• a piece of proof, evidence, details, or examples to support your topic sentence. 
• an explanation where you explain how the proof reinforces the point you are trying to make
• another piece of  proof, evidence, details, or examples to support your original topic sentence. 
• another explanation where you explain how the second proof reinforces the original point you are trying to make
• A summary sentence that sums up the main point found in the topic sentence.
