Basic Paragraph Practice

Give students a foolproof strategy for writing paragraphs with this complete writing program. When faced with a standardized-test prompt, journal topic, or essay question, many students have difficulty deciding what to write, how much to write, and what order to write in. This step-by-step process can help! The Step-by-Step Process: Using a graphic organizer, students write a five-sentence paragraph, including a topic sentence, three detail sentences, and a concluding sentence. Each sentence goes in its own box so that students can be sure to include all the parts. The last step is to rewrite the five sentences in paragraph form. Real-World Topics: Each reproducible binder presents 90-100 prompts about high-interest topics.
