Five sentences.
One clean run.

Every good paragraph is a race course. Start strong, hit every jump, cross the finish.

Walk the course first

How a paragraph works

A paragraph is not five random sentences. Each sentence has one job, and they go in this order every time. Learn the five jobs and you can answer almost any writing question your teachers give you.

Staging area

What's the question?

No question yet?

Like "the Great Compromise." Your last sentence can connect back to it for a stronger answer.
