A paragraph will be easier to follow and more engaging with consistent topic and thematic strings.


1. Be consistent with your strings. Do not begin with one topic and change to another midway through the paragraph.

2. Clearly establish topics and keep a consistent point of view. Consistent point of view helps guide the reader.

3. Clearly establish themes with related words. Consistent themes add further stability and unity to a paragraph.

4. Strings should develop as paragraph progresses: the information should go from familiar to new.
