Paragraphs make writing much more readable. Without them, most people just see a blob of text that they don’t want to read through. If you read other articles on my bog, you’ll notice that I almost always use small paragraphs and subheadings to make my writing easier to read. You may not be able to use subheadings when writing for online college courses, but you can still take the principles of small paragraphs to heart. Here are a few tips to help you paragraph your writing so it is easier to read.
Number of Sentences The number of sentences that you use in your paragraphs will vary based on what you are writing and who you are writing for. On average, your paragraphs should have four to six sentences in them. If you like to write choppy, short sentences, you may need more in a paragraph to complete a thought. That is the overall goal with every paragraph: to complete a thought. If you need a couple extra sentences to make that happen, use them. The main thing you need to remember when writing college papers is to avoid super short paragraphs. Two sentence paragraphs like this one won’t fly with your professors, and they may cause you to receive a poor grade on a paper. Intros and Conclusions Every paragraph you writing should have its own implied intro and conclusion. You don’t necessarily need a literal intro and conclusion sentence for every paragraph, but the paragraphs themselves should seem like separate entities that can work well together. If you have a paragraph that randomly ends without any conclusion at all, you will make your reader assume that you forgot to finish a thought. That will not do much for your writing, and it will… (Gotcha) Lists and Examples If you are making a list or using a set of examples in an essay, each point should be in its own paragraph. You should be able to put mental subheadings in the essay with ease. That ensures that everything you are writing has a conclusive and solid feeling to it, rather than just rambling from one paragraph to the next about the same subjects. Elaborate enough about each item to make a substantial paragraph, and that will greatly enhance your writing. Transitions Even though each paragraph in your writing should be its own entity, it needs to tie in with other paragraphs in the essay. You need to make sure that everything flows together, rather than tackling each paragraph as if it’s its own essay. You can do this by using transition sentences, or by writing all your thoughts down at one time. You can go back over your work and elaborate on specific points, but you should have some built in fluidity if you write everything at once. The Easy Solution If you just can’t figure out how to paragraph your work naturally, write everything as one huge paragraph and then go back to separate it when you’re done. Any time you come across a point where you feel that you’ve started discussing a new thought, make a new paragraph. You should find that you writing in paragraph formation anyway. You just might not know it as you’re writing. Take the time to edit your work, and you should easily be able to paragraph like a pro.
