The Definitions of Some Words

A "paragraph" is a group of related sentences about a single topic. The topic of a paragraph is one, and only one, idea. The first word in a paragraph is moved to the right about one-half inch. This is called "indenting" the first word. Also, there is blank space down both the left and the right sides of the page. These blank spaces are called”margins". Each paragraph that you write for this class should have a “title”. A title tells the topic of the paragraph in a few words. A title is short. It may even be one word. A title is usually not a complete sentence.
