• A good paragraph should have an opening sentence that makes a claim which can be proven, or is a general fact that can be supported.
• All of the following sentences in the paragraph should be related to the opening sentence. (It should not wander to other areas.)
• The opening sentence should not be a specific, stand alone fact.
