PARAGRAPHING is part of the visual presentation of your essay or
assignment along with punctuation, spelling, double spacing, page
numbering etc.
VISUAL IMPACT
1. A new paragraph is signalled by starting a new line AND either
indenting slightly OR leaving a blank line. Choose one style and use
it throughout your essay. See the diagrams below for examples of
each type.
CONTENT
1. A paragraph contains a 'packet of information'. Each
paragraph in your essay should therefore have a different packet so
that you are not repeating yourself.
3. Ideally your paragraphs will build up, one upon the other, each
packet of information helping to develop your argument one stage
further.
7. In evaluating any sales letter, one of the first things you should
do is look at the lead paragraph. Does it match the style and flavoUr
of the six points listed above?
