Chapter 4 covers how to organized and/or prepare a paragraph. A paragraph should focus around a main point, which should be clear to the readers. There are many things to consider while writing; you want to make sure that you focus on a main point, develop the main point, be organized, make sure the paragraphs coherent, and make any adjustments to the paragraph length. A topic sentence acts as a summary that provides the readers the writers main ideas that will follow in the paragraph. Some writers may not include a topic sentence in the beginning of their writing but will wait til the end. Its crucial for business writers to have their topic sentence along with the headings, since readers often scan for information. In the body of the paragraph you want to make sure that you have enough supporting information to convince the readers your main point but make sure that you're organized if not you'll lose the reader. Paragraph coherent can be done by strengthening the ties between old information and new. Lastly, the chapter concludes the possible needs of adjusting the paragraph length. Depending on what you're writing about you don't want it to be too short or too long.
Chapter 4 is very useful to me because it shows me step by step directions on how to be a better writer. I didn't know that there are so many different ways on writing. I find myself many times struggling on organizing and providing information to support my ideas. Now when I write and find myself running into a speed bump, I would reference back to this chapter.

That is very true about this chapter. This chapter has helped helped a lot of us in this class I have noticed. I feel the same way. I guess I have forgotten a lot since I first learned how to write a essay.
