Again, to remind you, here is what I wrote on “brainstorming” in the earlier section on paragraph writing:
Once you have a topic and a title, then you brainstorm your material. To “brainstorm” means you get some scrap paper (or use the blackboard), and you write down all the things you can think about, concerning this topic. Do not use sentences; use isolated words, fragments, key words. Do not try to “evaluate” what you write down, or want to write down; just put it down! Later on, you can sort through all the material, and take what is useful, and then screen it. Often, only a small part of what you write will be selected: that is the way it should be. Once more, let some time go by, until you are sure you have written down (in isolated word form) all you want to say....
It is often hard to start writing a paragraph from the Introduction, so start from the Body itself. Why not? Look at all the brainstorming ideas you have generated. Out of all that “mess”, you should be able to see a pattern. Can you see five ideas in all that mess of words? If you can, then list, then prioritize them. You now have the framework of the Body part of your paragraph. Once the Body part is done, finding ideas for the Introduction and the Conclusion is relatively easier. Fill them in. The Introduction should introduce what comes after; the Body sentences should all have their root in the Introduction. The Conclusion should tie it all together, and possibly point the way to the next paragraph.
Once you have a paragraph plan, you take each key word, and develop it into a sentence. If the plan is good, then the full-length sentence will follow after the plan.
