Fitz's Paragraph Rubric Diagram

A sentence is a thought fully expressed...
A paragraph is a thought fully explained...
An essay is a thought fully explored...


     A wise thinker once said, "Show me the universe, and I'll give you a pebble. Give me a pebble, and I'll show you the universe."

     This is how we need to think about writing paragraphs. We must learn to move from broad themes to more focused and broad themes; likewise, we must practice relating specific details to a larger and more important whole. This is the whole purpose of our using the paragraph rubric is to practice paragraphing skills and help you develop a more natural fluency.
