Basic Paragraph Practice
Give students a foolproof strategy for writing paragraphs with the two Resources in this complete writing program.
When faced with a standardized-test prompt, a journal topic, or an essay question, many students have difficulty deciding what to write, how much to write, and in what order to write. Use the process in this program to help. Following the step-by-step process, students use a graphic organizer to write a five-sentence paragraph, including a topic sentence, three detail sentences, and a concluding sentence. Each sentence goes in its own box so students can be sure to include all the parts. After completing all steps, students rewrite the five sentences in paragraph form.
Each reproducible Resource presents 100 “Real World” questions about high-interest topics, including the following:
- Who do you admire?
- Who are your favorite musicians?
- What cities would you like to visit?
- What are your favorite things to wear?
- What foods would you be least likely to try?
- Think about your best friend. Why is he or she your best friend?
