Logical flow within paragraphs

• The move from one sentence to another within a paragraph should be logical. The order in which information is presented needs to keep the reader centered on the focus of the paragraph, developing points upon this topic in a sequenced way.

Micro Elements of Paragraphing

• A paragraph is one of the basic units of organization in writing. A paragraph is a related group of sentences, arranged in a logical manner which develop one main idea. This idea is generally expressed in one sentence known as the 'topic sentence'. The topic sentence usually occurs as the first sentence in the paragraph. • In addition to the topic sentence, a paragraph contains other sentences that support the point the topic sentence made. They might do this by elaborating or further explaining the point made in the topic sentence, providing supporting details or giving evidence. • A paragraph may also contain a concluding sentence, or sentencesthat provide a transition to the following paragraph.
