Explain the basic steps in developing a paragraph

English

Lorico [155]3 years ago

Developing a paragraph.

Firstly, there must be a strong topic sentence. If the paragraph is in an essay, the topic sentence must be connected to the thesis, supporting a claim, and must give an idea of the purpose and content of the following paragraph. If the paragraph is stand-alone, then the topic sentence must be a claim or stance on the prompt or thought process backed with reasons that can later be explained through evidence as the paragraph develops.

Evidence is a very important factor in a paragraph stand-alone or in essay form. There must be adequate evidence such as a quote, or a line, or research with cited sources, that support the claim that was made in the topic sentence. This evidence proves that you know what you are talking about and that you have clear and educated reasoning. 

Grammar. If you are writing a formal paragraph, avoid contractions (i.e. can't) and avoid personal pronouns (i.e. I, you, we), only using he she it and they. Also, be sure to not start sentences with "and" or "because", and avoid phrases such as "this proves my point because..." and "I believe that this is correct because.", or "this evidence shows...". You must be decisive, efficient and concise. 

Closing. Once adequately backing your claims with evidence and proper reasoning, you need to close the paragraph. If it is an essay, close the paragraph by connecting the entire paragraph's message back to the thesis and include some sort of transition that leads to the next paragraph. If it is a stand-alone paragraph, then you must connect the closing sentence or two back to your initial claim without being obvious and without repeating words. Then, find a unique way to eloquently end the paragraph with your final words. 

An example of a closing for Ayn Rand's Anthem, is:

"The World Council suppressed him into the dust and ashes of shame, misery, and suggested communism, but Equality refuses to conform, and bursts into a flaming individual, who rises from the ash of where he is defeated, because nothing, not anything at all, can hinder the light that shines from within."

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

A ghostly image in the curves of the knocker gives the old man a momentary shock: It is the peering face of Jacob Marley. When Scrooge takes a second re-focused look, he sees nothing but a doorknocker. With a disgusted "Pooh-pooh," Scrooge opens the door and trudges into his bleak quarters.

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

2. Macbeth tells killers to murder Banquo and his son Fleance .

3. Banquo is killed , but Fleance escapes .

4. The banquet : Macbeth sees Banquo's ghost .

5. Hecate rebukes the witches.

1. Lennox voices his suspicions to a lord .

Explanation:

William Shakespeare's "Macbeth" revolves around the story of how Macbeth brought about his downfall by his greed and self-interest. The tragic play focuses on the theme of loyalty, guilt, greed, and how fate plays a part in one's life.

Act III of the play shows the scene where the three witches' prophecy came to the fore of the play. Banquo suspects foul play from Macbeth but does not do anything about it. In scene i, Macbeth hires assassins to help him kill Banquo and his son so that the throne of Scotland will be his. Scene iii shows that only Banquo was killed, while his son Fleance managed to escape. After that, Macbeth sees the ghost of Banquo at the royal banquet (scene iv).

This is then followed by scene v where Hecate advises the three witches to fill Macbeth with visions and hallucinations to give his a false sense of safety.

Scene vi shows Lennox voicing his suspicions and opinions to a lord, in support for the actions of Macbeth.

Thus, the<u> right order of events of Act III is 2, 3, 4, 5, and 1. </u>

marissa [1.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

“Multicultural communication is the ability to communicate effectively with individuals of other cultures” (Tamparo 30). Developing multicultural therapeutic communication skills is very important in the modern era. Everyday we get more connected to each other; through videos and social media, we learn and understand other cultures. The most important factors are:

1. Empathy: By developing multicultural communication skills, we can show empathy to the person who is talking to us. As we know, empathy is the ability to understand and relate to the feeling of others. With it we get more connected with people.

2. Knowledge/Culture: By developing multicultural communication skills, we learn the different cultures that exists in the world. We learn how they work and affect each person. But most important we learn to respect and embrace it.

3. Approachable: In the workplace learning these skills makes a huge difference. Customer will feel more comfortable talking to you and this will create and atmosphere of comfortableness and respect between you and the other person. You will have the ability of being “likable” and everything will flow better.
