How do I write a good paragraph?

How do I structure a paragraph? How do I link to other paragraphs?

Answer

A good paragraph should contain and appropriate amount of description or commentary, along with sufficient evidence and evaluation.

We often talk about the "Three voices of a paragraph": the Tour guide voice (descriptive), the expert voice (your evidence) and the critical/philosopher's voice (your evaluation). The video below on Finding your Critical Voice can help with this.

Structuring a 2000 word essay contains a useful paragraph template that can help you to get started on your paragraph. Page 50 of the HEAT toolkit also contains a useful paragraph template.
