This document provides instruction on paragraph structure and mechanics. It covers the main parts of a paragraph including the topic sentence, supporting sentences, and concluding sentence. Topic sentences must contain a main subject and controlling idea to guide the paragraph. Supporting sentences provide details and examples related to the topic. Concluding sentences wrap up the paragraph by restating the main idea or offering a final thought. Students complete various activities to identify topic sentences, write paragraphs, and provide peer feedback on drafts. Maintaining a writing portfolio is also discussed.
