Writing/rewriting paragraphs
How did that go? Are you happy with your adjusted introductory paragraph? Did you manage to write a good new paragraph?

Revising paragraphs
Wadsworth Handbook chapter 7

To indent or not to indent?

It is common in essays to indent the first line of each paragraph one-half inch (1 tab) and not add any extra lines or spaces between paragraphs. However, it has become more and more common these days to leave spaces between paragraphs and to start the first sentence without indenting.

Kinds of body paragraphs

Narrative paragraph Presents events in chronological order. Desciptive paragraph Communicates how something looks, sounds or feels Exemplification paragraph Supports the topic statement with specific examples Process paragraphs Describe how something works,, presenting steps in chronological order Cause-and-effect paragraphs Explores causes or predicts or describes results Comparison paragraphs Examine similarities and contrasts between subjects Transitional paragraph Summarize what you already have writte nbefore before you move on to a new point. Devision / classification paragraph Takes a single item and breaks it into parts.Take many seperated items and group them into categories,comparing and contrasting them with each other Definition paragraph Defining something by telling a story or explain how it works.

Classification paragraph
A first date can end up being categorized as successful, a clingy, a boastful or awkward. Successful first dates include both parties expressing information about what they like, who they are, and so forth. Usually, these dates will end in tentative plans for a second one. Clingy dates end up with one of the parties practically begging for information about the other. However, the non-clinger is not interested. On boastful dates, one member of the duo talks about all of his or her skills, talents, and abilities. The listening end of the pair is never asked about his or her life. Awkward first dates generally involve lots of silence or one or both of the partners not knowing how to act appropriately. While many dates occur every day, they can generally fall into one of these categories.

Exemplification paragraph
Achoura is one of the most important celebrations in which Muslims do various activities. It is celebrated on Muharram 10th every year. On this occasion, families meet together for a special meal of dried fruit and couscous with guedid. They also eat cakes and drink milk or juice. More importantly, they offer Zakat to poor people. Moreover, families and friends meet each other on the big day to play their drums while singing and dancing. In addition, Achoura is an opportunity for children to play with toys that their parents bought for them, such as dolls, plastic guns, cars and masks. Furthermore, children spray each other with water on the day of Zem Zem. In the evening they light bonfires as well as fireworks and start singing and dancing around the fire late into the night. In brief, Achoura is a mixture of religious, cultural and traditional practices.

Transitional paragrah
For most people, the word cloning is not only associated with Dolly the sheep but also fears about cloning human beings. This confusion makes it hard for people to understand the difference between therapeutic cloning and making a cloned baby. On the other hand, a more precise term, such as "nuclear transplantation," which describes the technique used to make copies of stem cells, doesn't advance the debate either because most people don't understand what it means. What the public really needs to understand is that there is scientific technique now that can be used in several ways, and one way of using it is to find new medical therapies.

Cause-and-effect paragraph
In recent decades, cities have grown so large that now about 50% of the Earth's population lives in urban areas. There are several reasons for this occurrence. First, the increasing industrialization of the nineteenth century resulted in the creation of many factory jobs, which tended to be located in cities. These jobs, with their promise of a better material life, attracted many people from rural areas. Second, there were many schools established to educate the children of the new factory laborers. The promise of a better education persuaded many families to leave farming communities and move to the cities. Finally, as the cities grew, people established places of leisure, entertainment, and culture, such as sports stadiums, theaters, and museums. For many people, these facilities made city life appear more interesting than life on the farm, and therefore drew them away from rural communities.

Definition paragraph
The IAU has so far recognized five dwarf planets differentiated from planets by a parameter of planetary discriminant which allows estimating the capacity to dominate orbits. According to NationMaster Encyclopaedia dwarf planets follow orbits which are not free from other minor celestial bodies. Simultaneously, they always circulate the Sun and not other celestial objects (they are not satellites). Several dwarf planets have already been scrutinized effectively. Their physical properties have been calculated through routine Earthbased observations as well as advanced image-searching software. Since current data may not be entirely accurate, further examinations are undertaken by astronomers and physicists world-wide.

Paragraphs check
Does the introductory paragraph make you want to read further? Is the information in the body of the essay well-structured into paragraphs? Does the concluding paragraph review the main point? Does the concluding paragraph contain a statement that you will remember?

 Dont announce your topic (In my paper, this essay is about) Dont undercut your credibility (I am not an expert on ) Dont mention the difficulty of the subject Dont simply repeat your introduction in other words in the conclusion Dont introduce new point in your introduction

Donts

European you-nity by Deborah Cameron

What is the thesis of this text? If you feel the text does not contain a clear thesis, then formulate it yourself. Make an outline of the text. Provide the topic sentence of each paragraph (make it up if you have to), and briefly indicate how it is supported . Using WW 7d, try to identify the underlying patterns of development for each body paragraph (the introduction and conclusion speak for themselves). Consider the first paragraph (from the text) of page 134 (Meanwhile courtesy). Discuss/identify the elements that create unity and coherence (WW 7a and b) and whether this paragraph is or is not welldeveloped (WW 7c). Identify those passages where you 'hear' the author's voice most clearly (in other words, indicate which parts are clearly subjective). Is Cameron presenting a fair text? Do you think she is credible? Explain. Does the text fail or succeed as an argumentative essay? Explain.

Example of a thesis statement

English, a stressed language

English is a stressed language. We give stress to certain words while other words are quickly spoken (some people say eaten!). Many other languages are syllabic. (there is stress, But each syllable has its own length). English however, spends more time on specific stressed words while quickly gliding over the other, less important, words.

Content words are stress words

Nouns e.g. kitchen, Peter (most) principal verbs e.g. visit, construct Adjectives e.g. beautiful, interesting

Adverbs e.g. often, carefully

Function /structure words are non-stressed words

Determiners e.g. the, a, some, a few Auxiliary verbs e.g. don't, am, can, were

Prepositions e.g. before, next to, opposite

Conjunctions e.g. but, while, as Pronouns e.g. they, she, us
