This is a two-part activity. When you have finished responding, click Submit after each part to record your answer. If your instructor has assigned this activity, you must answer both parts before your answers will be submitted to the gradebook.
Read something by a writer you admire. Find one or two paragraphs that impress you in some way, and analyze them. Try to decide what makes them effective paragraphs.
Examine two or three paragraphs you have written to evaluate the unity, coherence, and development of each one. Identify the topic of each paragraph, the topic sentence (if one is explicitly stated), any patterns of development, and any means used to create coherence. Decide whether or not each paragraph successfully guides your readers, and explain your reasons. Then choose one paragraph, and revise it.
