Review of Module 3: Paragraph Content
|
Key Takeaways |
Four types of paragraphs to use when generating content:
1. The definition paragraph
2. The comparison paragraph
3. The description paragraph
4. The analysis paragraph
By understanding these four paragraph types, you will be prepared to overcome writer's block and elaborate on any given topic in a variety of ways. While determining the purpose of a paragraph may be more difficult because of its abstract nature (as we discussed in our first module), we can rely on the four paragraph types to give us practical ideas for content generation.
