Thursday Thoughts: Improve Writing at the Paragraph Level

We know it seems like there are so many elements to writing: researching, writing clear sentences, creating a thesis, supporting ideas, introducing, concluding, responding to others, citing... and the list goes on. However, have you ever stopped to think about paragraphing as an important writing skill? Paragraphs are the building blocks of a piece of writing. They are small chunks of understanding that work to focus on, and develop, a small piece of the entire paper. Creating solid paragraphs makes it that much easier to build the entire paper.

New to our collection of writing modules is the academic paragraphing series. In this set of modules, you can learn:

• Academic paragraphing basics
• How to transition within and between paragraphs

Want to preview the content of these modules? We have module preview videos for you to check out before choosing a module to work on. Practicing writing skills that are focused at the paragraph level may help you with that long list of pieces you consider while writing.

The Walden University Writing Center helps student writers at all points of the writing process by providing one on one writing instruction, modules, webinars, a podcast, and blog.
