The way you organise your paragraphs can help the reader understand your ideas or arguments.  \nSteps to writing an effective paragraph  \n1. Plan the point you want to discuss. What do you want to say and how will you support your point?  \n2. Use a clear structure which introduces and logically develops one idea at a time. For example, a common paragraph structure is TEEL/C.  \n3. Start with your topic sentence.  \n4. Develop the next few sentences by explaining, elaborating on, or providing evidence or examples to support your point.  \n5. End the paragraph either concluding the point or linking the point to the next paragraph.  \n6. Review your paragraph and the support. If you have used a citation to support your point, ensure it is formatted correctly.  \nElements of a paragraph  \n\n| Topic sentence | Introduces the specific topic for this paragraph or repeat the overall topic and write a controlling idea that introduces the specific aspect of the topic you will discuss |\n| --- | --- |\n| Explanation/Elaboration Example/Evidence | Develops your topic in a step by step way so that each sentence logically connects to the previous sentence. Supports the point with a range of strategies, including citations, examples, or logical reasoning. |\n| Link/conclusion | Links to the next topic or concludes your discussion of this specific aspect of the topic |\n\nExample paragraph  \n\n| Topic sentence | An understanding of the life-history traits of successful invaders can help in predicting potential future invasive species in a particular environment. |\n| --- | --- |\n| Explanation/Elaboration Example/Evidence | For example, some grass species such as Pennisetum polystachion (mission grass), have been found to be highly competitive at low soil nutrient concentrations (Pyers 2001; Douglas et al. 2004) . This species has become an invasive weed in Australia (Douglas et al. 2004; Attiwill &\u003Cbr>Wilson 2006) . Therefore, controlling known weedy grasses such as mission grass has been a focus in Kakadu National Park in the Northern Territory where management strategies have been adopted to focus on preventing the invasion of other exotic grass species with similar traits (Kakadu BoM 2007) . |\n| Link/conclusion | This is because recognising life-history traits in already successful invaders can provide an early warning of the invasive potential of other species (Wittenburg & Cock 2001) . |\n\nPage 2 of 2","cbCais16YGGNkFBh","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCais16YGGNkFBh","pdf",186457,"English","# Purpose\n# Steps to writing an effective paragraph\n## Plan and support the point\n## Use a clear structure\n## Write the topic sentence and develop supporting sentences\n## Conclude or link\n## Review citations and support\n# Elements of a paragraph\n## Topic sentence\n## Explanation/Elaboration Example/Evidence\n## Link/conclusion\n# Example paragraph","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of organising paragraphs well?\",\"answer\":\"Organising paragraphs effectively helps the reader understand ideas or arguments more clearly, because paragraphs group sentences around specific concepts.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the key steps to write an effective paragraph?\",\"answer\":\"Plan the point, use a clear structure, start with a topic sentence, develop supporting sentences with explanation and evidence, end by concluding or linking forward, and then review the paragraph and support (including citation formatting).\"},{\"question\":\"What elements make up a strong paragraph?\",\"answer\":\"A strong paragraph includes a topic sentence with a controlling idea, an explanation/elaboration section that supports the point through evidence or examples, and a link or conclusion that either connects to the next paragraph or wraps up the current point.\"}]","Paragraph Summary - How to Write an Effective Paragraph | PDF",1789454759]
