Writing the Paragraph

SEPTEMBER 21:
Class was held online and all we had to do was read the next chapter in our textbook which was writing the paragraph. Then we had to name the four different types of paragraphs and how they contribute to an essay. The four types of paragraphs are introductory which is the first paragraph in an essay and it introduces the topic along with the thesis statement, developmental which basically expands ideas, transitional which is very brief and it directs the reader from one point to another, & lastly, would be the concluding paragraph which closes the essay. It may seem like a lot but they are actually very simple terms to remember and just by knowing these paragraphs can really help our essays sound almost perfect.

  3. The paragraphs will be long, but as long as it gets your point across with less confusion, then doing this is worth it.
