Paragraph writing
• A paragraph is a number of sentences
written on a selected topic and developed on
one central theme.
• A paragraph is a collection of sentences that
relate to a single topic. 
The essential characteristics of a paragraph are as follows:
UNITY: A paragraph should deal with a single thought which is usually
introduced by the lead sentence that is the first sentence of the
paragraph.
ORDER: The ideas expressed in the paragraph should be logically
arranged and well connected with one another.
VARIETY: A paragraph deals with only one theme. Therefore, by variety
what is meant is the variety of points and facts related to the topic,
which make up the paragraph
.
Depending on the kind of writing you’re doing, you may need to use different types of
paragraphs.
Expository: Common in nonfiction and all types of essays, expository paragraphs
revolve around explaining and discussing a single point or idea. 
Persuasive: Just like expository paragraphs, persuasive paragraphs focus on
discussing a single point; however, they support opinions instead of facts. 
Narrative: When telling a story, a narrative paragraph explains an action or event.
Each new sentence furthers or expands upon the action by providing new
information. 
Descriptive: Also common in storytelling, descriptive paragraphs focus on describing
a single topic, such as a person or an environment. Each new sentence adds a new
detail about that topic.  
The process of writing a paragraph:
1.Choose a topic that you like.
2.On a rough paper, jot down all the topic that you can think of.
3.Pick the relevant points and arrange them in a sequence.
4.These points will act as the outline of the paragraph.
5.Now, frame sentences around these points and decide a
proper lead sentence that would suggest the main theme.
6.Form other sentences that develop the central theme.
7.Close the paragraph with a sentence which is very
impressive and sums up what the entire paragraph conveys.
