Basic Paragraph Structure

This is one amongst many websites where you can find some help with basic paragraph structure

• http://lrs.ed.uiuc.edu/students/fwalters/para.html

Details in Paragraphs

• you should include enough details in your paragraphs to help your reader understand exactly what you are writing about.

• My hometown is famous for several amazing natural features. First, it is noted for the Wheaton River, which is very wide and beautiful. On either side of this river, which is 175 feet wide, are many willow trees which have long branches that can move gracefully in the wind. In autumn the leaves of these trees fall and cover the riverbanks like golden snow. Also, on the other side of the town is Wheaton Hill, which is unusual because it is very steep. Even though it is steep, climbing this hill is not dangerous, because there are some firm rocks along the sides that can be used as stairs. There are no trees around this hill, so it stands clearly against the sky and can be seen from many miles away. The third amazing feature is the Big Old Tree. This tree stands two hundred feet tall and is probably about six hundred years old. These three landmarks are truly amazing and make my hometown a famous place.

The Topic Sentence

• A topic sentence usually comes at the beginning of a paragraph; that is, it is usually the first sentence in a formal academic paragraph.

• it is the most general sentence in a paragraph: there are not many details in the sentence, the sentence introduces an overall idea that you want to discuss later in the paragraph.

• My hometown is famous for several amazing natural features.

Supporting Sentences

• When a reader reads a topic sentence, such as My hometown, Wheaton, is famous for several amazing natural features,a question should usually appear in the reader's mind. In this case, the question should be like, "What are the natural features that make Wheaton famous?" The reader should then expect that the rest of the paragraph will give an answer to this question.

How to Put References into the Text of your Research Paper

• Author/s and Date • For each reference you make in the text of

your essay, you need to provide: • the author: usually surname (family name) of

the author(s), maybe a corporate author • the date it was published.

Lsbu guide

• Download the lsbu help sheet• http://www.lsbu.ac.uk/library/helpsheets/hs30.pdf

• If you include the author’s name as part of the sentence statement, only the date needs to be in brackets.

• • Example: … Hartley (1999) declared that …

• If it is not part of your sentence, both the name and date must be in brackets, separated by a comma.

• • Example: … although other authors have

denied this (Hartley, 1999).

• The page number(s) must be added if a specific part needs to be identified or a direct quote made.

• Example: …which is described there in detail

(Hartley, 1999 p.172).

• If there are two authors:• • Example: In the much acclaimed work on the

subject by Martin and Frost (2001), it is clear …

Quotations in the Text

• If you quote the exact words directly from a text you must use quotation marks to indicate this. The author(s) and date must be stated, and if possible the page number from which the quote is taken.

• Example: … Jackson (2004, p.575) declared that “This is the finest example of postmodernism …”

Listing Your References at the End of Your Work

• Your list should have both printed and electronic sources in one single alphabetical sequence.

• • It should only contain the details of

documents / sources of the quotes you have referred to within the text of your work.

Whoever you cite in your text has to match your reference list as the list is in alphabetical order, normally by author. It must be in alphabetical order!

• For each reference you need to record various pieces of information, which will vary between types of material, but should always include: the author’s name,

• the date of publication and • the title of the work.

If there is only one author

• Example:• • Bradbury, A.J. (2006) Successful presentation

skills. 3rd ed. London: Kogan Page.

Surname of author(s), comma, initial(s), full stop Year of publication (in brackets) The title (in italics with only the first letter of first word capitalised), colon between short and secondary/sub title, full stop. The edition (if other than the first), full stop Place of publication (the first city or town) followed by a colon Publisher’s name, full stop

A book by two authors

A chapter from an edited book

• If you refer to a chapter in a book edited by someone other than the author of the chapter, you need to make this clear by using “in” (followed by a colon). It is the author of the chapter you cite. The book title is in italics, not the title of the chapter.

• Example: • Gaskell, G. (2003) Attitudes, social

representations and beyond, in: Deaux, K. and Philogene, G. (eds.) Representations of the social. Oxford: Blackwell, pp. 228-241.

Journal Articles

• For journals, details are normally on the contents page and usually at the top or bottom of every page of each article. You need to include:

• Surname of the author(s), comma, initial(s), full stop • Year of publication in brackets • Title of the ARTICLE ( only first word with capitalised initial letter, unless proper name),

comma • Title of the JOURNAL (in italics), comma • Volume number, issue or part number (in brackets), comma • First and last pages of the article separated by a hyphen and indicated by the abbreviation

“pp.”

For electronic sources

• you must also include extra details

• make it clear that the information came from an electronic source and when you accessed it.

Electronic Journal Articles

• Pattinson, S.D. (2003) Paying living organ providers, Web Journal of Current Legal Issues. [Online]. Available from: http://webjcli.ncl.ac.uk/2003/issue3/pattinson3.html [Accessed 4 July 2004].

• • By giving the date of access, your reader will be clear

which version you are identifying if there have been revisions.

Photos/Artwork

• Make it clear whether you viewed the original in location or from a reproduction in a book, catalogue or webpage. Illustrations in books/journals etc. are referenced as you would a normal book/journal etc.

• Example: • In text: … The presentation of Pompeii by Levin (1995) is a classic …

• Example of entry in reference list. • Levin, A 1995, Levin-1, photograph, Pompeii Forum Project Archival
