When writing a paper there are many different steps, and ways different people do things. The way that I have been taught to write a paper would be to first choose a topic to write about, after I have chose a topic I would begin to brainstorm ideas. There are many different methods of brainstorming, my personal favorites would have to be the bubble map, this is a way for me to easy and effective organize my thoughts. When doing a bubble map you start out with one main bubble, which is the main you would be writing about. You would then branch off with three smaller bubbles that are the main ideas of your three body paragraphs. From the three smaller bubbles you would make three smaller bubbles, which would branch off from the three ideas of the body paragraphs, which would be the details of paragraphs. Some other ways to brainstorm would be to list your ideas, or to do a flow chart. After all the brainstorming ideas are organized in your desired way, you then begin to write the paper its self.
The first thing you do is do the introductory paragraph which usually consist of a slight summary of the whole paper giving a small amount of info from each body paragraph to give a general idea of what the paper would be talking about. You kick the whole paper off with a very well written, attention-grabbing sentence to make the reader want to continue reading the entire paper. After the introductory paragraph is complete you write a connecting sentence, which connects the introductory paragraph to the first body paragraph.
While writing your topic paragraphs you should refer back to whichever way you chose to brainstorm. A paper should have a minimum of five sentences in each body paragraph. The body paragraphs should provide the reader with the information of the paper. The paragraphs should be well written, and have correct grammar. After the body paragraphs are written you must wrap the paper up with a conclusion paragraph.
The conclusion and the introductory are generally filled with similar information, such as a condensed version of the entire paper to review what happened in the paper for the reader. The conclusion should be interesting and provide a good ending so the reader is not left hanging, and confused.
Although this is not the only way a extraordinary paper could be written, it is the way I have been taught by my teachers from grade school and this writing method has helped me succeed in their classes.
