Introduction to Paragraphs

Module Objectives

– Demonstrate the ability to create an effective topic sentence

– Demonstrate the ability to edit paragraphs for improved cohesion

In this module of the course, we will explore the elements of effective paragraphing, specifically topic sentences, paragraph unity, and cohesion. An effective FCA paragraph starts with a focused topic sentence, provides evidence to support the generalization of the topic sentence, and ties all the sentences of the paragraph together. Let’s see how to achieve these features in FCA writing.
