The Building Blocks of Essays:
Paragraphs
Whether you are writing the introduction or the body of your essay, you will always be writing paragraphs. Indeed, the paragraph is the most basic building block of the essay. It is essential, then, for you to familiarize yourself with how a good, clear paragraph is constructed.
Introductions
Of all the different paragraphs, many people consider introductions the most difficult to write. This is because the introduction must grab the reader’s attention and provide an absolutely clear, but sufficiently concise explanation of the paper’s main point. In a shorter paper, the introduction will only be one paragraph. In a longer paper, it could be lengthier and involve multiple paragraphs.
Conclusions
Like the introduction, the conclusion can be a challenging paragraph to write. This is because the conclusion must review the main points without being repetitive or boring.
