This document discusses different methods for developing paragraphs, including development by example/illustration, classification, general analysis, and process analysis. It provides definitions and steps for each method. For development by example/illustration, it explains that examples should illustrate ideas, explain concepts, tell stories, or describe scenes. Examples of each type are given. The document also provides examples of paragraphs developed using different methods to demonstrate how they can be implemented.

2. What Is Paragraph
Development?
Before you dive into methods for developing
paragraphs, it’s important to understand what a
paragraph is and why it’s important to have a
strategy for developing them. Paragraphs are the
way you’ll relate all your information to your
audience. Additionally, each different paragraph
needs to work together to create a cohesive idea
or argument. So, there are multiple ways you can
develop your paragraphs.

3. Definition Paragraph Development
Paragraph development is an idea
development that is carried out in a
paragraph that aims to dig deeper into the
idea or topic being discussed.
In the topic sentence is usually found in
words like “mean” or in the form of
synonyms, antonyms, conjunctions, and
keyword.

4. ● First, pay attention to the topic of the sentence
then find the paragraph pattern.
● Second, pay attention to the conjunctions in the
sentence to be able to see the direction of the
authors flow.
● Third, look the supporting sentence who made
by the writers

5. Development by
Example/Illustration
Means giving examples, making ideas clearer by giving examples
or supporting your point with examples. Usually begin with a topic
sentence or main idea and then use more and more vivid examples
to prove the point to be true

6. • Examples that illustrate – use concrete examples
to illustrate an idea
• Exaamples that explain – give an explanation to
illustrate a concept
• Examples that tell a stroty – use a short story to
illustrate a point.
• Examples that describe – use examples to make
help the reader visualize a scene or a thing

7. Development by Classification
1. In the topic sentence, look for key words like groups, classes,
types, kinds, categories, variety, genre, cast, level.
2. In the linking words, look for words like similarly, on the other
hand, all of these, within this group.
3. In the supporting ideas, look for statements about what a
class is like. That is, look for a listing of how members of a
group are alike, and for a listing of how they are different
from members of other groups.

8. Development by General Analysis
1. In the topic sentence, look for the name of a whole thing.
Then, look for key words like parts, units, divisions, aspects,
components, elements, chapters.
2. In the linking words, look for words like and, also, in addition,
furthermore, moreover, in other words, that is.
3. In the supporting ideas, look for a listing of parts of the
whole thing named in the topic sentence. Look at the ways
those parts are tied together
4. Writers use general analysis to show you what the parts of
something are and how those parts are related.

9. Development by Process Analysis
1. Writers use process analysis to show you how something works or how to do
something. They give you the steps to do something, and they give you the
order in which the steps must come.
2. In the topic sentence, look for key words like Here are the steps; Use these
steps; Do these things in this order; process; chronology
3. In the linking words, look for words showing time relations, such as now, then,
in the same way, and next, and for enumeration (1, 2, 3;first, second, third).
4. In the supporting ideas, look for the names of the steps or the name of the set
of situations. Following the names, look for directions for carrying out the
process.

10. Example:
When it comes to petting, dogs and cats react in
different ways. Dogs may enjoy prolonged petting,
but cats, on the other hand, may tire of too much
attention. For example, my German Shepard can lay
on my lap for hours with me rubbing her head.
However, my Persian cat has a small window of
enjoying petting before biting my hand or running
away. As you can see through my examples, most
dogs enjoy prolonged affection more than cats.
This works to demonstrate the more social and
people pleasing nature of dogs. You can also see
the difference in social behaviors through the way
these two animals react to other animals.

11. Example:
Dogs may enjoy prolonged petting, but cats, on the
other hand, may tire of too much attention. For
example, my German Shepard can lay on my lap
for hours with me rubbing her head. However, my
Persian cat has a small window of enjoying petting
