This week...
Last week was shortened due to the Open House so we will continue this week with our lessons on pararaph construction. We will be doing the same vocabulary words as last week and we will have the test this Thursday.
This week we are going to focus on the parts of a paragraph and creating our own paragraphs.
The parts of a paragraph
The parts of a paragraph are the main idea (topic sentence), the detail sentences and the conclusion sentence.
The main idea - The main idea or "topic sentence" tells us what the paragraph is going to be about. It is usually at the beginning of the paragraph and defines what the rest of the paragraph will be about.
The detail sentences - These sentences describe in more detail the main idea. They tell us different facts about the topic usually answering a Who, what, where, when, wh, or how question.
The conclusion sentence - This sentence or sentences ends the paragraph and tells the reader what the writers thoughts are on the main idea of the paragraph.
--> Main idea - My birthday is in September.
--> Detail 1) - There will be a big party with lots of cake.
--> Detail 2) - I will have all of my friends there.
--> Detail 3) - We will play lots of games and I will open my presents.
--> conclusion - My birthday will be very fun.
