Idea — A paragraph holds one main idea, often with a topic sentence and support. Teaching learners to plan paragraphs before writing prevents the wall-of-text that buries meaning.
Example — One paragraph for advantages, one for disadvantages, gives an essay an instantly readable shape.
Try — Hand learners a jumbled set of sentences. Ask them to group them into two paragraphs by idea before writing anything new.
