Paragraphs

PARAGRAPH DEVELOPMENT


1. What is a paragraph?

A paragraph is an organized block of sentences that develops one part of a narrative or expository piece of writing. A well-developed paragraph consists of an introductory or topic sentence, two or more sentences that further explain the introduction, and a concluding sentence. This concluding sentence should also guide the reader to the ideas in the next paragraph.

2. What is paragraph development?

Paragraphs are the building blocks of your essay, so you can see your various paragraphs, including the introduction and conclusion, as providing an architecture for your reader's experience of your writing.


A. Paragraphs Structure:-

A. IBC paragraph:-

1. Introduction - pengenalan/pendahuluan

- Introduces the topic and main ideas of the essay and ends with a thesis statement summing up the paper's main point.

2. Body - isi-isi

 - Demonstrates your main point through discussion of examples, quotations, and other evidence and details.

3. Conclusion - penutup

- Summarizes the main point of the paper and explains why it is important or interesting


B. Hamburger Paragraph:


- Essays generally have one introductory paragraph and one concluding paragraph, with many body paragraphs in between. You can think of an essay as similar to a hamburger; the introduction and conclusion are like the top and bottom buns of a burger, while the meat, lettuce, cheese, and other fillings are the body paragraphs.
