A document is identified as one by its structure. Any type of writing must have paragraphs. These paragraphs are what bring the neatness of the work and portray the organization of a writer. Paragraph writing is thus an important exercise that everybody should take seriously. It has been noted that students fail to score the best they could simply by poor paragraphing skills. For this reason, many teachers and language experts have taken it upon themselves to teach students and writers alike to write proper paragraphs.
There are steps that must be followed to write and organize a good paragraph. The ideas that one has in mind should be the leading guide on how many paragraphs one can have at the end of the writing. As is the general format of many writings i.e. introduction, body and conclusion, it is the paragraphs that should bring out these distinct areas without one having to put a tag alongside each paragraph.
Paragraph exercises for students tackle different aspects of the paragraph such as the organization, grammar, vocabulary and so on. These aspects of paragraphing if missed then the outcome is nothing near a good paragraph. By turning ideas into sentences, one begins the writing of a paragraph. The first sentence of the paragraph; topic sentence, should carry the idea that the students so wishes to cover in that paragraph. The other sentences that follow are meant to support the idea. In the end, each paragraph covers only a single idea making the work look organized.
As for writers, emphasis lies in the explanation of the ideas to make the paragraphs independent but flowing. The information in a paragraph should be at most coherent. The information in the paragraph should be logically ordered and easy to follow.
