Revision as of 03:58, 14 October 2008

The Jane Schaffer paragraph (commonly known as a Schaffer paragraph, Schaeffer paragraph, or Schæffer paragraph, and misspelled as Shaffer paragraph and Shafer paragraph) is a five sentence paragraph developed by Jane Schaffer, used to write essays.[1] The paragraph only makes up one of many paragraphs in an essay, most of which have a non-Schaffer-like intro and conclusion. The Schaffer paragraph is popular in middle school and in early high school classes as it is thought to help students better formulate ideas.[2][3] When students have fully learned the Shaffer paragraph or move on to a higher grade level, the Schaffer paragraph generally is not preferred anymore since using it hinders students from formulating their ideas and does not allow them to think critically.[3][2]

It should be either facts, examples, illustrations, evidence, support, plot references, paraphrases, citations, quotations, plot summary, etc. It should be a concrete detail and should start with 'for example' or a different transition.

Examples:
For example, she does all the cooking, cleaning, and sewing.
If it is not stopped, the world may be drastically hurt.

Commentary (CM)

There are two commentary sentences in each paragraph and contains no facts, rather, it contains comments from the paragraph writer about the fact presented in the CD. This sentence contains analysis, interpretation, character feelings, opinions, inference, insight, reasons, or color commentator.

Examples:
As a result, Bryan and alicia gets married.
