Cover ALSO BY BRUCE ROSS-LARSON Title Page Copyright Dedication CONTENTS Author’s note AN APPROACH TO PARAGRAPHS
Building paragraphs from a plan Getting off to a good start Summing up
1. UNIFY YOUR PARAGRAPHS AROUND STRONG POINTS
Be clear about your subject Make a strong point Be sure every sentence bears on the point Repeat a key term Repeat a sentence structure—for sentences doing the same work Count the elements Signal what’s to come Stick to one subject Stick to one verb form Fold two sentences into one
2 MAKE YOUR POINTS IN COMPELLING WAYS
Lead with the point and support it Lead with the point and conclude with a comment Lead with the point and, using conjunctions, join details Lead with the point and list disparate details Lead with the point and follow it with a bulleted list Conclude with the point after introducing the subject Conclude with the point after listing disparate details Make the point in the middle Undermine a premise at the end of the paragraph Undermine a premise immediately Undermine a premise in the middle of the paragraph Start with a question and answer it immediately Start with a question and answer it in succeeding sentences Start with a question and answer it at the end Ask several questions and answer each immediately Imply the point in a series of details or examples Imply the point in a series of questions Imply the point by presenting two sides Imply the point in an analogy or syllogism
3 LINK YOUR PARAGRAPHS
Repeat a word or phrase from the end of the preceding paragraph Turn the repeated word into a question Repeat an opening word or phrase Signal what’s to come Establish pairs across paragraphs Ask a question at the end of one paragraph and answer it at the beginning of the next Ask a question at the beginning of the second paragraph Make a comment Count Place paragraphs in time Announce an example String examples together Undermine
