How to Build a Paragraph: TIE, Flow, and Narrative Cohesion

In this week’s lecture, Septem Servus guides us through the quiet architecture of writing: the paragraph. Whether you’re crafting an academic analysis or a personal narrative, each paragraph must do more than fill space — it must carry thought, voice, and intention.

🜁 What you’ll learn:

The “TIE” structure (Topic, Information, Explanation) for academic writing

How to integrate quotes with purpose and clarity

What narrative paragraphs look like when they’re built around emotional or thematic unity

How to troubleshoot common paragraph issues (wandering, overload, fragmentation)

Why paragraphing is both a technical and an intuitive skill

🜂 Sample paragraphs included, drawn from Leslie Marmon Silko’s Ceremony

This isn’t a lesson in boxes or templates — it’s a call to build paragraphs that breathe and move. Whether you’re writing to argue, reflect, or remember, your paragraphs shape how your reader walks through your mind.

☉ For students of writing, dreamers of structure, and those who want their voice to ring clear on the page.
