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.
