Topic sentence and controlling idea
From http://lrs.ed.uiuc.edu/students/fwalters/cohere.html "Unity is a very important characteristic of good paragraph writing. Paragraph unity means that one paragraph is about ONLY ONE main topic. That is, all the sentences -- the topic, supporting sentences, the detail sentences, and (sometimes) the concluding sentence -- are all telling the reader about ONE main topic. If your paragraph contains a sentence or some sentences that are NOT related to the main topic, then we say that the paragraph "lacks unity," or that the sentence is "off-topic." " In general, it means that your paper is coherent, easy to follow, and each paragraph relates to the main thesis. "To help your paragraph unity try these things:From: http://papyr.com/hypertextbooks/comp1/coherent.htm"To achieve paragraph unity, a writer must ensure two things only. First, the paragraph must have a single generalization that serves as the focus of attention, that is, a topic sentence. Secondly, a writer must control the content of every other sentence in the paragraph's body such that (a) it contains more specific information than the topic sentence and (b) it maintains the same focus of attention as the topic sentence. "
The topic sentence and sentences that expand upon it.
Your essay should, firstly, have an engaging title. This is followed by a short introductory paragraph or two, to set thescene for the body of the essay. The body should fully cover your topic and then be followed by a concluding paragraph.
Comparison is a rhetorical strategy that involves examining the similarities and differences between two or more things. It is used to clarify concepts, highlight distinctions, or emphasize similarities for the purpose of analysis or argumentation. By juxtaposing aspects of different subjects, comparison can help to deepen understanding and offer insights into how they relate to each other.
No, usually it is considered good practice to keep a paragraph limited to one topic and start a new paragraph when the topic changes. (There are, of course, exceptions, such as a paragraph that sets two different topics in relation, but several topics in a single paragraph is often a sign of sloppy writing and rarely a prerequisite for a good paragraph.)
The introductory paragraph of an essay should begin with an interesting sentence that relates to the topic of the essay. When writing the introductory paragraph, it can move from general to specific or begin with a story about the writer's experience concerning the topic. When using the general to specific technique, the paragraph begins by explaining a situation or topic that will lead to the main topic of the essay. The story technique is used to show readers how the writer relates to that topic or the reason behind the chosen topic.
A good concluding paragraph for ANY topic refers back to your thesis AND ties up you main points.
A paragraph can be as many sentences as necessary. A paragraph ends when the main thought of the paragraph changes. The only limitation is that it has to be more then two sentences long. As for how many sentences for an 8th grader, it depends on what you are writing about.
When two complete sentences are in one complete paragraph; does that mean each sentence is a SEPARATE topic? Or is each separate sentence part of the SAME topic?
It is a kind of paragraph in which more than two topics are described. by ali saifan pirzada +923443623390
