4) Stages of paragraph writing
Stage 1: Assessing the Assignment. The first step is to know the topic and purpose of the assignment.
Stage 2: Generating Ideas. There are many ways to do this; two of the most effective arebrainstorming and free writing.
Stage 3: Organizing Your Ideas. One way to organize your ideas is a topic outline. You first have to decide what the main idea of the paragraph is. Then you need to consider which points to include in order to support your main point.
Stage 4: Writing the First Draft. Once you have your ideas generated and an organizational pattern to follow, you can write your first draft.
Stage 5: Rewriting. Rewriting is a critical part of the writing process and consists of two separate processes: revising and editing.
Revise the content. You may start revising as soon as you finish writing, or, better yet, set your paragraph aside for awhile and go back to it later.
Edit the language. The other aspect of rewriting is editing. When you edit, you check to make sure the spelling, capitalization, punctuation, vocabulary, and grammar are correct.
5) Sample a Good Start
My first day of school was more good than bad. One of the good memories of that day was my teacher Mrs. Grant. She was very nice and seemed to understand why all the children were a little scared. Another good part of that day was when Mrs. Grant had us all be quiet and listen to the sound of the crayons while we were coloring. I was surprised that it was such a loud noise. The last good memory that I have of that day is finding the chocolate kiss in my lunch bag. It made me remember that my mom loved me. I also have a few memories of being frightened. My mom was sick and couldn’t take me to school. I didn’t want to leave her alone, but my dad insisted that we go to school. Also, my dad was late picking me up, and I cried. However, looking back, I was glad to be in my new adventure at school.
