Chapter 7 Reflection

After reading Chapter 7, I learned more on how to construct a paragraph that makes sense and flow smoothly as you read. The 4 main things you need in a paragraph or in an essay are the following: topic sentence, main idea, supporting details, transition, and conclusion. Each paragraph must have those in order to make the paragraph understandable and organized. When you read, try to figure out what the main idea is because that will help you understand what the passage or paragraph is about. Look for key terms as you read the sentences, some might be an example, fact, reason, procedure and more. This will help you identify what you are reading and develop a clear understanding of what you read. The last thing I learned are transition sentences. These are the sentences that link the paragraph. It makes it easier to read and understand.
