Success with Writing
  Online Workshop
 Part 3: Paragraphs

Created by: Jane Mangano
Moving on... Perfect paragraphs
• In the task box, write a few sentences
  answering this question: What is a paragraph?
• This should take you about three minutes.
Perfect Paragraph
• “A paragraph is a group of related sentences
  that discuss one (and usually only one) main
  idea. A paragraph can be as short as one
  sentence or as long as ten sentences. The
  number of sentences is unimportant;
  however, the paragraph should be long
  enough to develop the main idea clearly.”
  (Oshima & Hogue, 2006, p 2)
Perfect Paragraph
•   A paragraph has three parts.
•   Topic sentence
•   Supporting sentences
•   Concluding sentence – be careful here.
    Sometimes the final supporting sentence
    provides a sense of closure for the paragraph.
Go back to your sentence
• ‘A successful student is organised, intelligent
  and motivated.’
• Use that sentence as your topic sentence.
Writing a paragraph
• Take the three attributes (organised,
  intelligent and motivated) and write one
  sentence on each of them.
• Put it all together and you will have written a
  paragraph!
• Spend some time proofreading and editing,
  until you have the ‘perfect paragraph’.
• This should take about 15 minutes.
Checklist
Do all of your support sentences support the
 topic sentence with evidence and/or
 examples?
Are all of your sentences correctly structured?
Is the meaning clear?
Have you included information that is not
 relevant?
Did your paragraph look like this?
• A successful student is organised, intelligent and
  motivated. The student who is organised
  usually follows a time management plan that
  helps the student complete work on time. Being
  intelligent helps the student understand the
  complex content of each unit of study. A sense
  of motivation assists the student to follow the
  time management plan, and make the most of
  the intelligence with which he or she has been
  gifted.
Your Turn
• Choose one of the topic sentences from the
  next slide.
• Brainstorm until you have three points that
  directly support the topic sentence.
• Write one sentence on each point.
• Write a concluding sentence.
• This will take about 20 minutes.
• Write this in the task box.
Possible Topic Sentences
Driving on freeways requires skill and alertness.
                       OR
Signing up for tutorials and lectures can be a
frustrating experience for university students.

N.B. Remember, you only have to pick one
topic sentence, and then write one paragraph.
Checklist
Do all of your support sentences support the
 topic sentence with evidence and/or
 examples?
Are all of your sentences correctly structured?
Is the meaning clear?
Have you included information that is not
 relevant?
Congratulations!
