Class Experience

Your paragraph will have 3 distinct parts: 

Day 1: Topic sentence: 
● This sentence is the first sentence of a paragraph and summarizes the main idea of the paragraph. 
● All of the following sentences will add information that expands upon or supports the idea stated here. 

Day 2: Supporting sentences: 
● The second sentence identifies the first major supporting detail. 
● The third sentence brings up a second supporting detail. 
● Similarly, the fourth sentence mentions a third supporting detail. 
● Additional sentences can be added here for additional supporting details or to divide one lengthy supporting detail into 
    separate, easier-to-read sentences. 

Day 3: Conclusion: 
● The last sentence of your paragraph is your concluding sentence, which quickly ties your supporting thoughts together. 
● It also might restate your first topic sentence using different terms.

I always teach the class, even if there is only one learner enrolled, so please do not worry about the cancellation of my classes if you should receive an automated email from Outschool stating that the class might be canceled if enrolment is too low.

If you prefer an asynchronous FLEX course pertaining to these skills, please see:

Learning Goals

Your learners will write simple paragraphs, paying attention to the prompt/s, the topic, and the audience. 
Next, they will discuss the pros and cons of the topic if applicable in order to demonstrate a well-rounded view. 
They will also learn how to conclude their paragraphs so as to ensure that each paragraph contains and discusses just one idea.
