In writing a paragraph, it is common to use certain techniques to expand a topic into a paragraph. One of the techniques is using theme and rheme.
Theme and Rheme help the writer understand how information is conveyed in sentences. If you want to be a good writer, you should put the Theme (old information) first. This will tell the reader what you are going to talk about.
The Rheme (new information) tells the reader something about the Theme (old information). Theme is useful in helping students understand how to organize information at a sentence level.
Theme and Rheme also play an important part of meaning negotiation in writing. To write, a learner needs to start with a sentence and then he/she negotiates the first sentence to make the second sentence, the third and so on. So, a learner starts with a sentence he/she can write without stopping.
