Exercise in Improving Paragraph Coherence
In a letter to the college president, the athletic director is arguing for a new stadium
scoreboard. One paragraph will describe the old scoreboard and why it needs to be
replaced. Study the following list of ideas for that paragraph.
1. The old scoreboard was originally constructed in the 1960s.
2. It is now hard to find replacement parts for it when something breaks.
3. The old scoreboard is not energy efficient.
4. Coca-Cola has offered to buy a new sports scoreboard in return for exclusive
rights to sell soda on campus.
5. The old scoreboard should be replaced for many reasons.
6. It shows only scores for football games.
7. When we have soccer games or track meets, we are without any functioning
scoreboard.
On a separate sheet of paper, use the information above to write a coherent
paragraph about replacing the sports scoreboard. Remember that this paragraph is
part of a letter from the athletic director to the college president. Include a topic
sentence. Strive to illustrate all three techniques to achieve coherence.
