If you already have a topic or main idea, all you have to do is start writing! WikiAnswers will not write your paragraph for you, but we WILL help you learn how to write one for yourself!
Start by
making a list of ideas:
- If your topic is something that you can look up - look up facts using a dictionary, an encyclopedia, or a search engine like google or dogpile - list each fact that you find
- If your topic is an idea (like friendship or family) - write down everything you know about this idea - if you can't think of anything, then look it up just like the above!
- If your topic is a statement or quote - make certain that you understand what the statement or quote means! Look it up if you have trouble, or ask the teacher to help you understand it better. Write down any facts you know about the statement, or write ideas that you have when you think about the statement
- If your topic is to describe something - list everything you can think of - use all of your senses, not just sight
- If your topic is to tell what happened during an event - list everything that happened in order, from beginning to end
- If your topic is to give your opinion - give your opinion! List everything you think about the topic and why you believe that.
Next, make each line into a complete sentence. Check your grammar and punctuation to be sure they are correct.
Copy these sentences into a paragraph. Try putting them into different order to be sure that your paragraph makes sense and leads the reader from one idea to the next.
