Main Idea
Definition: A main idea is important information that tells more about the overall idea of a paragraph or section of a text. Everyday Use: If your doing anything that involves finding information that tells about an overall idea, then you are using main idea. For example, when you are trying to give a book, song or poem a title you are looking for information that perfectly describes the overall theme. This is called using Main Idea.
Paragraph
DEFINITION: A paragraph is a distinct segment of writing covering one topic. A paragraph usually contains more than one sentence. A paragraph starts on new line. Sometimes, paragraphs are numbered or indented. (Whatever format you use, be consistent.) Importance: We use paragraphs because they give structure to a piece of writing. They are a way to organize thoughts, and to give clarity to ideas. Paragraphs tell your reader where your ideas are going, and when you are moving on to a different point. Since paragraphs are used to explain your case in stages, it is essential that you only express one idea or set of ideas per paragraph. If you attempt to say too much, your reader will be confused and your argument will be unclear. HOW TO: The “perfect paragraph” will begin with a topic sentence. It will have detail sentences in the middle and a concluding sentence at the end. It will only cover one topic from start to finish. The length of a paragraph is supposed to be determined by the topic. Everyday Use: Paragraphs are used every day in reading, writing and daily conversation.
