Effective Writing

Building effective paragraphs covered how important it is to have a foundation before and while you are writing your essay. The writer should support the main point and make it stand out by providing evidence throughout the writing. As you write you should stick to the topic and choose a suitable pattern for organization. A Few of the patterns discussed were Description, Process, and Analogy. A Description pattern helps the reader visualize and imagine what is actually going on in the text. There will be details that relate to any of your senses and you will be able to imagine what it is really like and what the writer is trying to explain. The Process pattern is done in chronological order and will explain how something is done step by step. This process will give you instructions on how to do something or put something together. In Analogy, you are able to compare two things that have very little in common. This might be a tree and a dog, or a rock and a bucket. This gives the reader a better understanding on the topic and explains how even the smallest things have something in common. You should always close out with a strong paragraph that will support the main point of the text. Your conclusion does not have to be long it just has to cover the most important points and stick to the topic.
