05. Paragraphing
Four things to remember about paragraphs:- Paragraphs are sentences grouped into blocks, each block dealing with a topic.
- Paragraphs are separated from each other by an extra line space.
- Paragraphing is important because a long, unbroken page of text is often difficult to read.
- In chemistry, when your text is filled with information and long names, it's important to make it easy for your reader to absorb everything you are saying. Paragraphs are one way of letting your reader take a breath.
How long should a paragraph be?
- Paragraphs have no precise length, but in an essay, ten lines is quite a useful guide.
- A paragraph should contain a key point; expansion of the key point; evidence supporting the key point.
- Certainly. Key points are often divided between paragraphs, with each paragraph dedicated to a different aspect of the point.
- Yes. Introductions and conclusions can contain more than one paragraph if your essay addresses two related topics which, for clarity, are best kept separate in the introduction and conclusion.
