LOGICAL DIVISION OF IDEAS

Logical division of ideas is a pattern of

organization in which you divide a topic into
points and discuss each point separately.
Logical divisions of ideas (Hinkel,
2004) mainly focusing on how the
relationship between an analytical
process and a disciplined thought
process can be systematically built.
COHERENCE
Another element of a good paragraph is
coherence. The Latin verb cohere means "hold
together." For coherence in writing, the
sentences must hold together; that is, the
movement from one sentence to the next must
be logical and smooth. There must be no sudden
jumps. Each sentence should flow smoothly into
the next one.
There are three main ways to make your paragraph coherent:

A. Use nouns and pronouns consistently throughout a

paragraph.
B. Use transition signals to show relationships among
ideas.

C. Put your ideas into some kind of logical order, such as

logical division of ideas.
Use nouns and pronouns consistently

throughout a paragraph.

One way to achieve coherence is to use nouns and

pronouns consistently throughout a paragraph, that is,
continue to use the same nouns and pronouns you start
with. For example, if you begin with plural noun such as
student, don’t change to singular. In addition, don’t
change pronouns; don’t switch from “you” to “they” or
“he” for no reason. Be consistent, if you use pronoun “you”
at the beginning of your paragraph, keep it throughout.
 Transition Signal
Another way to give a paragraph
coherence is to use transition signals.
Transition signals are words and phrases
that connect the idea in one sentence
with the idea in another sentence.

Transition signals are useful in

achieving good cohesion and coherence
in your writing.
Prosperous
Grammar of transition signals
Broadly speaking, transition signals can be divided into three types:

• other connectors
• sentence connectors • clause connectors
 Runs- Ons &
Comma Splices
In paragraphs you will also find a sentence error called a
fragment, or incomplete sentence. There is run-ons and
comma splices, two sentence errors run-ons and comma
splices are similar errors . Both happens when you join
sentences incorrectly.
A run-ons happens when you join two simple sentences
without a comma and
without a connecting word.

Run-ons and comma
A paragraph needs coherence. A coherent splices are sentence
paragraph is easy to read because errors in which you join
it flows smoothly from beginning to end. Use two
these three techniques to sentences incorrectly
achieve coherence.
• Use nouns and pronouns consistently.
• Use transition signals to show how one idea
is related to the next.
• Put your ideas into some kind of logical order
