Post: Paragraphs have Purposes!
A paragraph has a purpose. It may be to describe.
Writing a paragraph that describes is like paiting a pitcure with
words. The reader should be able to see,hear,taste,smell,or hear
excactly what theauthor is describing. Just like there's many
shades to a color,there are many ways to describe the same
thing. Choosing just the right words is key.
A paragraph has purpose. It may be to inform.
Sometimes you may write a paragraph to share what you know or
what you have learned. The purpose of this type of paragraph is
to inform. It may offer facts about a subject,such as in a
report,or it may inform a reader of your opinion or response to
something,such as a answer to their question.
A paragraph has a purpose. It may be to entertain.
Sometimes you may just want to express yourself. Perhaps you
have a story to tell,a creative idea,or just an interesting point of
view about a discussable topic. You can write a patagraph just to
entertain. You can write about almost anything,but no matter
what your subject is,be sure to catch the reader's attention and
interest.
A paragraph has a purpose. It may be to persuade.
Have you ever tried to “talk someone into” something or convince
someone to see your point of view? A paragraph written for this
purpose is to persuade a reader to see things in a certain way. It
might offer facts about a subject,but it usually focuses on
reasons for the reader to agree with statements made,wheither
facts or opinions. Avertisments frequently use this type of
paragraph.
All communications is done with purpose in mind. There are
reasons for paragraphs. It is from these:
•to DESCRIBE something
•to INFORM or share what you know
•to PERSUADE or convince others
•to ENTERTAIN or express yourself.
This will make you think closely and carefully about your reading
selections,paragraphs. If you are 12 or under,pull this site/
section up,and print it,or even write it down. Just don't put this.
