For beginning writers, sentence starters or sentence stems can help get ideas on paper.
The teacher writes the first few words of the sentence, then the student can complete it any way they wish that is grammatically correct. The topic sentence will also help the writer come up with supporting sentences.
Examples:
In the fall, I like __________.
When I grow up, I want _________.
I am the best _______________.

What ls
a Paragraph?
A paragraph is a group of related sentences about a single topic. The topic of a
paragraph is one, and only one, idea.
A paragraph has three main parts.
I . Topic sentence
The first sentence in a paragraph is a sentence that names the topic and
tells what the paragraph will explain about the topic. This sentence is
called the topic sentence.
2. Supporting sentences
The middle sentences in a paragraph are called the supporting sentences.
Supporting sentences give examples or other details about the topic.
3. Concluding sentence
The last sentence in a paragraph is called the concluding sentence.
A concluding sentence often repeats the topic sentence in different
words or summarizes the main points.
A paragraph is like a cheeseburger sandwich: two pieces of bread (the topic
and concluding sentences) enclosing the filling (the supporting sentences).
