Step III. Theses: style and outline

OBJECTIVES: at this stage you are going to learn about different styles of theses writing.

There are several types of paragraphs, which are organized differently. You may choose the best way to present your theses’ topic, combining them in your paper.

A paragraph of description has one topic (subject). The topic sentence is the first sentence. It includes the topic and main idea of the paragraph. The other sentences give details – more information – about the main idea. In a paragraph of description, the adjectives are important. Learn the example and note the following:

  1. The first word in this paragraph is indented.

  2. All of the other lines begin at the margin.

  3. Every sentence begins with a capital letter and ends with a period.

  4. After a period, the next sentence begins on the same line.
