Paragraph Structure
What is a paragraph?

   A paragraph is a short piece of writing that
    presents a main point and supports it.

   A paragraph consists of a topic sentence that
    states your main point, body sentences that
    support your main point, and a concluding
    sentence that reminds readers of your main
    point and makes an observation.
What are unity and coherence?
   Unity means that all sentences in a paragraph
    relate to your topic sentence, and coherence
    means that you move readers smoothly from
    one idea to the next.

   Transitions are words that aid coherence. Some
    transitions are before/after; first/second; near/far;
    and one reason/another reason.
