    Paragraph writing
    • A paragraph is a number of sentences
    written on a selected topic and developed on
    one central theme.
    • A paragraph is a collection of sentences that
    relate to a single topic. 
    The essential characteristics of a paragraph are as follows:
    UNITY: A paragraph should deal with a single thought which is usually
    introduced by the lead sentence that is the first sentence of the
    paragraph.
    ORDER: The ideas expressed in the paragraph should be logically
    arranged and well connected with one another.
    VARIETY: A paragraph deals with only one theme. Therefore, by variety
    what is meant is the variety of points and facts related to the topic,
    which make up the paragraph
    .
    Depending on the kind of writing you’re doing, you may need to use different types of
    paragraphs.
    Expository: Common in nonfiction and all types of essays, expository paragraphs
    revolve around explaining and discussing a single point or idea. 
    Persuasive: Just like expository paragraphs, persuasive paragraphs focus on
    discussing a single point; however, they support opinions instead of facts. 
    Narrative: When telling a story, a narrative paragraph explains an action or event.
    Each new sentence furthers or expands upon the action by providing new
    information. 
    Descriptive: Also common in storytelling, descriptive paragraphs focus on describing
    a single topic, such as a person or an environment. Each new sentence adds a new
    detail about that topic.  
    The process of writing a paragraph:
    1.Choose a topic that you like.
    2.On a rough paper, jot down all the topic that you can think of.
    3.Pick the relevant points and arrange them in a sequence.
    4.These points will act as the outline of the paragraph.
    5.Now, frame sentences around these points and decide a
    proper lead sentence that would suggest the main theme.
    6.Form other sentences that develop the central theme.
    7.Close the paragraph with a sentence which is very
    impressive and sums up what the entire paragraph conveys.
