What is an academic paragraph?

◦ Academic paragraph is one of the types of writing (or paragraphs) that is always present in academic paper such as academic essays and journal articles

◦ Academic paragraph includes a well-

formulate claim, which then followed by a

support/evidence, and finally a link (or how

the evidence is linked to the claim)

CLAIM

Example of claim:

Procrastinators have higher level of stress than non-procrastinators This is where you state your claim or your argument. Do not

choose a claim that you cannot backup with solid

evidence.

(5)

SUPPORT

The support part is where you present your evidence to backup your claim

Unless you can present an evidence, your academic writing will not be considered valid

And remember: your evidence needs to be relevant to your claim

For example:

CLAIM: Procrastinators have higher level of stress than non- procrastinators

SUPPORT: Research revealed that procrastinators generally perceive

themselves in negative lights and are self-judgmental. When they

procrastinate, they know that it’s not what they suppose to do. This

further lowers their opinion on themselves, creating more stress (Flett,

Stainton, Hewitt, Sherry, & Lay, 2012)

LINK

◦ The ‘link’ part of your argument demonstrates how well you understand your claim and how well you can use your evidence to back up your claim

◦ For example:

◦ CLAIM: Procrastinators have higher level of stress than non-procrastinators

◦ SUPPORT: Research revealed that procrastinators generally perceive themselves in negative lights and are self-judgmental. When they

procrastinate, they know that it’s not what they suppose to do. This further lowers their opinion on themselves, creating more stress (Flett, Stainton, Hewitt, Sherry, & Lay, 2012)

◦ LINK: This research explains that failing to complete a task ahead of time contributes to the stress level of a procrastinator. Not only because they have low self-worth to begin with, but also because they know that they fail at doing what they are supposed to do
