Synopsis

The first five chapters explain the elements of paragraph construction - the topic sentence, unity, coherence, support, and organization. Chapters 6 and 7 show students how to expand their paragraphs into brief essays, and Chapter 8 presents six methods of paragraph development. The book's innovative "I-beam" diagrams help students understand the relationship of a paragraph's beginning, middle, and end. Abundant exercises make up roughly 40 percent of the book and progress from simple to more complex. The Fifth Edition features a new discussion of prewriting in Chapter Four and an increased emphasis on audience and purpose throughout the book. A student essay ("Satori and the Art of Self-Defense") has been added to Chapter Seven to give students a concrete and accessible example of how to expand a paragraph into an essay.
