First step to write a paragraph is Brainstorming. العصف الذهني

Here you write any related word that comes on your mind. 

For example: 

If you’re going to write about apples, you may think about these words ( eat apples – eat them – different colors – grow on trees – an apple pie) 

The second step is to stretch these words into sentences.

Eat apples >> I can eat an apple. 

Different colors >> Apples have /come in different colors. 

Grow on trees >> Apples grow on trees. 

Apple pie >> I ate an apple pie. 

Remember: sentence = subject + verb + full meaning 

The third step is the outlining ( to rearrange sentences correctly) 

  1. Apples grow on trees. 
  2. Apples come in different colors. 
  3. I can eat an apple.
  4. I ate an apple pie. 

The fourth step is the organization of the paragraph 

1- Indentation >> leave a space at the first line of the paragraph. 

2- Capitalization >> Each sentence has to start with an uppercase letter. 

3- Put a suitable punctuation mark at the end of the sentence. (.) (!) (?) 

4- Think of a paragraph as if it were a present. 

  1.  The box = Topic sentence. 
  2. The present = The body of the paragraph / supporting sentences. 
  3. The ribbon = Conclusion / closing sentence.

Tips: 

** You have to write in one tense. 

** Use some adjectives. 

** The shortest paragraph must contain 3 sentences at least.
