This document provides guidance on writing effective paragraphs. It explains that paragraphs should be focused on a single topic and include a clear topic sentence stating the controlling idea. Supporting sentences should include explanations and relevant examples. "How to" paragraphs should list steps in a process, explaining each step individually and using transitions to connect the steps. Topic sentences for instructional paragraphs should state that the paragraph will provide instructions on a topic.
