When students have a basic grasp of sentences, then — and only then — should they move on to drafting paragraphs. Once they can write paragraphs, they can tackle essays.

If you write an incomplete sentence, you can be sure that you are going to get an incomplete mark. Consider this: Unemployment Lack of jobs Unemployment in Nigeria.
