Ways of developing a paragraph
Once you have a topic to write on, you will get down to brain storm on it so as to escort that you have enough material to write on it.
The next step is to decide the major points or subtitles your text fall into. After this your challenge will be to expand on the main ideas, you can do this by:
a) Developing a paragraph using compassion
Paragraphs can be developed using comparison .The two things being compared must have something is common e.g. two hospitals, two writing styles e.tc
Comparison can be done in two ways,
- Contrast -When asked to contrast things you are expected to write only the differences between the items of comparison
- Comparison -If you are asked to contrast things, you will need to find both differences and similarities.
For example you can compare two professions: teachings and doing business
-What are the advantages of each?
-Why would you refer one over the other?
There are at least two ways of arranging information in a compare and contrast essay.
- Block method -present all the information on one subject first followed by all the information o n the subject .present the features in the same order for both subjects
- Point by point method- arrange the information point by total, one feature for one subject following by the same feature or the subject
b) Developing a paragraph using facts and statics
Facts are statement that have been proved by experience ,observation or scientific studies, statics, on the order and other a laid ,give precise numerical information ,and therefore a laid of facts you can develop a paragraph by spoiling facts and statics ,One of the common mistakes students make their work without knowing whether these figures are accurate .It is not necessarily wrong to do this .The problem is when one provides statics as facts without proof you should avoid
falling into this snare by either quoting your sources or stating that these are rounded figures by using such words as perhaps ,probably or approximately.
-Kenya may be the most corrupt country in the Africa, rather than
- Kenya is the most corrupt country in Africa
c) Developing a paragraph using reasons
A paragraph developed the question why. For instance why would you like to follow the career path you have chosen? Why be a teacher and not an accountant.
d) Rhetorical paragraphs
A rhetorical paragraph is paragraph written largely using statement presented as questions are actually statements presented as question that have observes answers and thus need not be answered .such question appeal to the reader to agree with the writers point of new .All your sentence need attempt to write most of them as questions. I need whole essays and books can be written in this format.
e) Developing a paragraph using examples
A graph can be developed through examples .These are the points used to develop a paragraph when you develop a paragraph using examples you led credibility to your work.
f) Developing a paragraph using cause and effect
When you explain causes, you answer the question why that the reason the body your paragraph explains effects, you answer the questions, what next and state to consequence of an event or action.
