Paragraphs

A paragraph is a theme Good paragraphing makes for easier reading Short paragraphs make reports look easier to read ● Rule of thumb of about 6 sentences per paragraph ● Sometimes a one sentence paragraph is a very effective way to grab the reader’s attention and to make a key point Bulleted lists are a good way of summarising key information and breaking up paragraphs ● Useful in introductions and summaries Consider using subheadings
