Method of Paragraph Development by CAUSE AND EFFECT

           Cause and effect relationship can be used to develop effective paragraphs by describing what happens and why it happens. You can do so by explaining reasons and consequences of an idea or event.

           Example:

           Global climate change resulting from the accumulation of greenhouse gases, for example is likely to have significant health effects, both direct and indirect. An average global temperature rise of 3-4°C, predicted for the year 2100 by the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change will greatly increase the number of days in the United States with temperatures over 38°C(100°F), with a resulting sharp rise in heat-related mortality. Deaths would occur primarily from heat strokes, heart attacks, and cerebral strokes. The very young, poor, and elderly, as well as those with chronic cardiovascular and respiratory diseases, are most at risk. During the two-week heat wave of July 1993 in the eastern United States, 84 people died in Philadelphia alone as a result of the higher temperatures. (E. Chivan, "The Ultimate Preventive Medicine," Technology Review)

Method of Paragraph Development by COMPARISON AND CONTRAST

           Two or more ideas are said to be compared if their common points or similarities are emphasized. On the other hand, essential differences are pointed out in contrasting ideas from one another.

           Example:

             When I was young I often heard people say, "Canada is the Scotland of North America." Only recently did it occur to me that it might be worthwhile considering the extent to which this is true. As Scotland is the hard northern cap to the British island, with the rich farmlands and cities of England just below her, so is Canada to the United States. Both countries were gouged by the retreating glaciers, which left them on the subsistence level as far as good farmland was considered. It also gave them both a heritage of spectacular beauty uncrowded by cities and towns, and of this they were both inclined to boast. (from Hugh MacLennan, "Scotland's Fate, Canada's Lesson")
