************************
Your main point, and facts backing up your main point.
example:
doing a report or paper on some kind of bird. you choose to give a general report on birds. you might choose three topics for each body paragraph so intro about birds, telling what topics you will cover and your conclusion. you pick three topics, habitat, diet, and interesting facts about whatever bird you're doing a report on. So in your first body paragraph you might use environment that the bird lives in (habitat# as your main point to this first body paragraph- where, and why and how they live would be your extra points within the paragraph #sentences#. you would follow with two more paragraphs w/points to back up your main points. I've always done reports with the intro paragraph which states your 3 points you will talk about, 3 body paragraphs #3 points) and a conclusion paragraph that sums up all points.
What are some ways to compose or develop a paragraph?
There are many ways to begin writing - I usually recommend just making a list of everything you know and turning the facts into sentences.
Here are some more formal ways to start thinking about your paragraph:
- Analogy - list ways that your topic is like something else
- Analysis - explain how your topic works in detail
- Anecdotes - tell a story to explain your topic
- Cause and Effect - explain how your topic causes other things to occur; OR explain how your topic is caused by other things
- Classification and Division - list all of the things that go into your topic
- Compare and Contrast - list all the ways in which your two topics are alike and all the ways in which they are different
- Definition - list each definition for your topic (you can also list things which your topic is NOT, which is called Elimination, but this is seldom used)
- Description - list everything you can use to describe your topic
- Enumeration - list a set of observations about your topic
- Exemplification - list all of the examples of your topic
- Facts - list all of the facts you have looked up about your topic
- Narration - list the events that make up your topic in chronological order
- Persuasion - list arguments that might make a reader take an action or believe in your opinion
- Process - describe step-by-step how the actions in your topic may be carried out in sequence
