paragraph writing
Structured text creation
Paragraph writing is the skill of composing coherent blocks of text organized around a single idea.
Each paragraph typically opens with a topic sentence, develops through supporting details, and concludes with a transition or summary.
The term appears mainly in educational contexts: We spent the semester on paragraph writing before moving to full essays.
