How do I write a good paragraph?

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


Answer

A paragraph is a section of writing that is focus on one topic. In academic writing it is important to make good use of paragraphs to help structure your writing.  When you change topics, you need to start a new paragraph. Each paragraph should start on a new line. The paragraphs you use should be connected to each other and should be in a logical order in your assignments.  

 

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.
