METHODS OF PARAGRAPH DEVELOPMENT
DEVELOPMENT BY CLASSIFICATION
1) Classification is grouping items into categories according to a certain principle.
2) A classification paragraph describes various classes related to one category of things.
3) This is done by grouping items into categories, such as characteristics, types, factors, and other classes or divisions.
For example: Winter Fruitsè apple, orange, tangerine…
You can divide Facebook users, according to the level of their
activity, into the following groups: online zombie, daily visitor, weekender, and “forgot my password” type.
4) The classification paragraph sticks to one basis of classification.
5) In order to be successful at this, you have to be very clear, specific and detailed.
6) Some useful expressions for classification paragraphs are the following:
a kind of
a type of
be divided into
falls under
belongs to
a part of
fits into
grouped with

Study the following sample paragraph:
A farmer who decides to concentrate on viable products can choose from four general types of plants: edible, ornamental, raw-material, or shade. Edible plants include grains like rice and corn, fruits like santol and mango, vegetables such as pechay or cabbage, or spices like pepper. On the other hand, ornamentals are all kinds of flowering and non flowering plants used for decoration and landscaping. There are also plants that provide raw materials for other products. Examples of these types are rubber, palm, abaca, maguey, and ramie. The coconut may also belong to this type although the fruit is edible. The last are shade trees, grown primarily to reforest barren areas of mountains. However, some of them are used as ornamentals. Ipil-ipil and narra are the most common shade trees. All these types of plants can be grown profitably, depending upon the soil and climate found in the area.
Explanation: The paragraph shows how plants were classified according to general types.
The Paragraph and Topic Sentence is a PowerPoint presentation that details out what a paragraph is. Moreover, this PP will focus more on one essential part of a paragraph, which is the topic sentence -- its function and its position in the paragraph. A good paragraph must contain a good topic sentence. I hope this presentation will help you guys. Thanks :)
