WRITING HELP: SENTENCE LENGTH AND USE OF PARAGRPHS

 




 Last Monday I gave you back your reviews after checking them. If you remember, I told you about the use of paragraphs and appropriate sentence length. 

Surfing the net, I have come across some useful sites to help you writing good sentences and combining them into good paragraphs.

Click on the different links below:



1. SENTENCE LENGTH: SHORT - LONG SENTENCES

2. MORE ON SENTENCE LENGTH (with audio)

3. PARAGRAPHS

4. PARAGRAPH LENGTH

5. WRITING TUTORIALS (to help you write good paragraphs)


Checklist for creating well-written paragraphs: 

· Does the paragraph cover one main idea?
· Is this main idea clearly presented in the topic sentence, or at least very clear?
· Does each sentence in the paragraph support the point made in the topic sentence?
· Is the paragraph organized in a logical way?
· Do the sentences flow smoothly from one to another?
· Is the main idea sufficiently developed with examples, details, arguments, statistics and/or facts? 

Hope it helps you improve your writing skills,

Ana
