THE INTRODUCTORY PARAGRAPH
. The introductory paragraph does not go into detail, it just gives a general idea of the material and lets the reader know what areas it will cover.

THE DEVELOPMENT PARAGRAPH
• The development paragraph usually begins with a topic sentence. The topic sentence states what the paragraph is about.

THE TRANSITION PARAGRAPH
The transition paragraph is usually short and not all articles need transition paragraphs. They are used to emphasize change. It’s a dividing line when you need to move from one aspect of the subject to another.

THE CONCLUDING PARAGRAPH
The concluding paragraph is where you wrap it all up and reiterate the high points, but you do not want to create an abrupt stop here.
