How to Write Essay Paragraphs

• Answer:

  An essay continues to reign as a primary vehicle for students to express their ideas on any topic. Establishing flow from paragraph to paragraph remains paramount when structuring and writing essay paragraphs. Staying focused on your point of view throughout the essay with an active voice aids in the maximum desired outcome. Once a student masters systematic and organized guidelines, writing essay paragraphs eases self-expression. Difficulty: Moderately Easy Instructions List on paper after brainstorming all you know about your essay's topic and data you need to form the essay's paragraphs. Organize all your essay's information in an outline. Analyze and review your notes so you can evaluate and decide upon your thesis statement. Determine your thoughts about the topic, and pick the side of the issue you want to write about. A good thesis statement reflects your side of the issue and your analysis, including your assertion or claim you support with evidence. Construct on paper a diagram of your thoughts to show the form of ideas for your essay's body paragraphs. Place your thesis statement in the midsection of a piece of paper to start a diagram. Draw three to five lines that branch off the thesis statement. Where those lines end write down your main ideas, and draw more lines off the primary ones to illustrate your other related thoughts. Every main point of your three to five main ideas you draw on the diagram reflects a distinct paragraph of your essay's body. Outline a rough sketch of your introductory paragraph. Re-examine the paragraph later for revision. Summarize the main points briefly that support the essay in your introduction. Include background information the reader must realize. Define key terms you use in your essay. Place your thesis statement at the end of the introductory paragraph. Structure every body paragraph alike by making one of your main ideas as the paragraph's first sentence. Then follow by composing all your supportive ideas in sentence format. Omit some lines in between each major point so you can return and fill in with lesser supportive ideas. Every distinct body paragraph should make sense if it stands alone but relates to all your essay's paragraphs. Check the order of your essay's paragraphs to assure the strongest points are in the first and last paragraphs, while supporting information lies in the midsection of the body. Add words and phrases in your paragraphs to link ideas that allow the reader to follow your flow of thought. Begin the conclusion by going back to your introduction to find a connection to link with the reader. In a small number of persuasive words, repeat your essay's main points and reiterate the thesis statement in the conclusion. Reaffirm your topic's strengths, and think about the reader's last impression. Tie up any loose ends that help pull your writing together as a unified composition.
