Directions
- Prepare a topic sentence that introduces the main idea.
- In a medium-size paragraph, combine main idea and supporting details into 5-7 sentences.
- As flavors begin to develop, drain off excess “to be” verbs such as is, am, are, was, and were.
- Stir in a large helping of active verbs and strong nouns. Replace several subject-verb sentence starters with more interesting sentence variations.
- Arrange sentences neatly on a bed of lined paper, moving sentences and words around to achieve the desired effect.
- Garnish the composition. Use just enough adjectives and adverbs to add flavor and color.
- Wrap up the paragraph with a satisfying closing sentence.
- Misspelled words and incorrect punctuation will add bitterness. So sweeten the paragraph by making necessary adjustments.
- Sample the composition. If it’s too thick, remove excess words or phrases. Substitute spicier words for repeated or bland ones. If the paragraph needs seasoning, pepper it with a few more vivid words to taste.
- Serve it to several hungry readers. As per their suggestions, adjust the arrangement or ingredients.
