Reflexion of Body Paragraph and Essay

BODY PARAGRAPH 

            I have learned about body paragraph in an essay and how we made it. A body paragraph is a group of related sentences about a particular topic. Because the essays are composed of multiple body paragraph, writing and organizing good paragraph is one of the most important aspects of creating a well-organized and developed essay. Each body paragraph will have a topic sentence, which tell readers what our paragraph is going to be about and what we want to say about our topic. Each body paragraph will have supporting sentences that discuss the idea in our topic sentence, using example or evidence to support that discussion.

Parts of body paragraph are :

·         Main idea : the part of topic sentence that states the main idea of the body paragraph.

·         Evidence : the part of a paragraph that prove the main idea. Example of evidence include, quotations and/or paraphrases from sources, facts like statistic.

·         Analysis : the part of paragraph that explain the evidence.

·         Transition : the part of paragraph that helps you move from the last paragraph.

THE NARRATIVE ESSAY

            A narrative essay is essay that tell the story written about a personal experience. Narrative essays describe specific experiences that changed how we felt, thought, or acted. A good narrative is not just an entertaining story, but has a point to make, a purpose to convey.
