WRITING THE DEVELOPMENT PARAGHRAPH

haluhaaaaaaa,,hihi
do you know how to write development of the paragraph in term paper??
ha let me tell you because i have learn it today...
every development must have a topic sentences ( what the paragraph is all about)


Format of a development paragraph
  1. Topic sentences
  2. Supporting details 1
  3. Supporting details 2
  4. Supporting details 3
  5. concluding the statement.

The topic sentences is followed by supporting details:
  • To elaborates the idea further by explanation description, statistic and examples
  • To strengthen the argument / thesis / stand that has been put forward in the thesis statement.


    EXAMPLE FOR DEVELOPMENT PARAGRAPH:

         Children too can be protected with the practice of censorship. Everyone has to remember that television and movie theaters are not restricted for “adult only”. Children have a high tendency to imitate what they saw and heard from movies and television series. Vijaindren (2009) reported that many parents complained of the use of harsh and faulty languages the children picked up from what they watched be them cartoons or other so-called “children programmers”. She also gave few examples of children from using the four-letter words to even  a mutter to find a new parent when they are not satisfied with theirs. In addition, some “simple” scenes to adult can be very disturbing to children for instance the smoking scene. Parents educate their offspring that smoking is bad, but adults on television smoke with such ease and confidence. As a result of this, the children get confused. Another example of a disturbing scene is of course the exhibition of intimacy between a man and a woman which is forbidden in Asian culture in general.  The children will be  wondering why a parent turns off the television every time a couple is kissing. If the act is wrong, why do we have it on the television to be watched by everybody? Moreover, the parents sometimes are bombarded with difficult questions of this taboo subject since Asian adults are not very open when it comes to discussing sex especially with children. In short, snipping unacceptable languages and cutting demoralizing scenes off the movies and television series help protect children from lessons they are not ready for yet and save parents from some unpredictable embarrassing scenes.


    That's for today...tq for read
