Paragraph Writing and Web
              Mapping
Some of you might still be looking for ways to improve your writing,
whether a paragraph, or a whole essay. Below are some good tips that
should help your writing to unfold more clearly and logically. Let's
begin with the paragraph. Consider the diagram below. It stands for
the five sentence paragraph.
The top line refers to the opening sentence. This is your Main Idea Sentence. It
should be made clear at the beginning of your paragraph, and it should be restated
in some form in your concluding sentence. The green lines on the right refer to
your Supporting Detail Sentences, and the final pink line at the bottom refers to
your concluding sentence. See below:
Let’s write a paragraph on snacks. The opening sentence should express
the main idea, and for our supporting detail sentences we can write
about our three favourite snacks. In our conclusion, we return to our
main idea.
When I want some snacks to eat, I always look for at least
 three.


                                                         First, I look for some popcorn to pop.

                                                         Finally, for a dessert snack, I’m pleased
                                                         if I find some cookies.




I like many snacks, but popcorn, apples, and cookies are my favourite ones.

           snacks


In an eight sentence paragraph, we add sub-categories which
support and elaborate on the original supporting sentences.
When I want some snacks to eat, I always look for at least three.
First, I look for some popcorn to pop. If I find popcorn that I can
put in the microwave, I have a fast, easy snack. Next, I check to
see if we have any apples. When I’m lucky, I find some that my
dad bought at the supermarket. Finally, for a dessert snack, I’m
pleased if I find some cookies. My favourite ones are chocolate
chip. I like many snacks, but popcorn, apples, and cookies are
my favourite ones.
