Paragraph Structure

Paragraphs as arguments  

The structure of a paragraph follows the structure of an argument. The claim at the beginning of the paragraph is the argument itself. This is then proven and justified with evidence and analysis. 

It has to be noted that the forces that binds these sections of the paragraph/argument together are  logic (clear and rational connections) and cohesion (unity and focus). If all the sentences in the paragraph don’t link together, you’ve haven’t proven your argument.
