Writing Essays: Building your information



You may need to further subdivide your paragraphs as your information grows. If so, you can create symbols to represent the subparagraphs and code your points accordingly.

The following 'paragraph' of information may have grown to 3 or 4 pages after researching the area. It would, therefore, be worth breaking it into other smaller paragraphs such as:

· Poverty
· Culture
· Lifestyle
· Government Policy

Once you have established the different subcategories, you can code your notes (with first letter or different highlighting) so that you can group the information together to write the more particularised subparagraphs.
