The Paragraph.

One well-argued, colour-coded paragraph — the seed of your Final Essay.

At a glanceWeight 10%  ·  Points 25  ·  Due Week 8  ·  Submit file upload, DOC or PDF  ·  run it through Grammarly first. After feedback, this paragraph becomes one body paragraph of your Final Essay — so choose a point you can defend with sources.
A

One paragraph, one job

You are writing a single, fully-developed paragraph that proves one clear point. Think of it as a miniature argument: you make a claim, back it with evidence, explain what the evidence means, and close. Everything in the paragraph must serve that one point — if a sentence does not, cut it.

B

LEAF — and what to do with your text

Your paragraph must be colour-coded by role. This is not decoration: re-colour the actual words in your document so the structure is visible at a glance. Each colour is a job the sentence is doing.

L — Lead
RED. Your topic sentence: the one point this paragraph proves.
E — Evidence
GREEN. Facts, data, or quotes from a source — always with a citation.
A — Analysis
BLUE. Your thinking: what the evidence means and why it proves the point.
F — Finish
RED. Concluding sentence that restates the point and looks forward.

How to colour it in Word / Google Docs: select the sentence → Font colour → choose red, green, or blue. Make transition words bold and underline the topic inside your Lead sentence. The version you submit should literally be in colour.

C

A worked model — read this closely

Short-form video has become the primary way Gen Z consumers first discover new brands. For example, a 2023 survey found that 71% of respondents aged 18–24 reported finding new products through TikTok rather than search engines (Smith, 2023). This matters because it moves the first point of contact away from a brand’s own website and places it inside an algorithm the brand does not control, which means discovery now depends on platform behaviour rather than paid search. Similarly, Park (2022) shows that branded TikTok content reaches users who never visit the company site at all. For younger audiences, then, a short-form video presence is no longer optional but foundational.

Red = Lead & Finish  |  Green = Evidence (with citation)  |  Blue = Analysis  |  bold = transitions  |  underline = the topic.

Build it sentence by sentence

LeadRed · underline topicState the single point. Underline the topic. e.g. “Short-form video has become the primary way Gen Z discovers brands.”
EvidenceGreen · citeIntroduce a fact/quote and cite it. Do not drop a statistic with no lead-in.
AnalysisBlue · your voiceExplain what the evidence shows and how it proves the Lead. This earns the most marks.
(More E + A)OptionalA second evidence+analysis pair deepens the paragraph.
FinishRedRestate the point in sharper words and point forward — no new evidence.
