Each body paragraph has a topic sentence, telling the reader exactly what the paragraph is about, supporting sentences that support, prove, or explain the topic of the paragraph, and a closing or concluding sentence that wraps up the topic in your paragraph.]]> 2020-07-05 19:41:27 UTC https://padlet.com/wendyyoung11/6bxu9s63pfqli1wd/wish/647798863 Closing Sentences wendyyoung11 https://padlet.com/wendyyoung11/6bxu9s63pfqli1wd/wish/647800922 A closing sentence is the concluding sentence. Close the door to the paragraph!

  • It summarizes the main ideas or feeling of a paragraph.
  • It is not a relevant detail in the paragraph.
  • Use a “clincher” to be creative with the closing sentence!  (question, humor, excitement, or a future thought)

Paragraph:  Summer weather lets me play outside.  I have fun under the sprinkler with my brother.  We run through the water and scream each time!  It is refreshing to swim in the lake too.  At night, I play hide and seek with my friends.  I usually hide behind a big bush.  I love when the weather is warm!
