Reading opens the imagination.
Authors must decide how to organize or structure their paragraphs (text). They build their stories word by word, sentence by sentence, paragraph by paragraph…into a full story; just like a builder must build or create a structure…brick by brick, wall by wall, etc. The words tell a story, but each paragraph has a purpose or planned organization. Sometimes the author needs to describe the scene or characters (Descriptive Paragraph). At other times, the author wishes to tell his readers the order of events (Sequence). As the author tells the story, a decision is made to structure or organize the words into a powerful, meaningful paragraph depending on the author’s purpose.
