Description
This resource begins with your students gaining knowledge about what paragraphs are and then analyzing sample paragraphs to learn the different parts. Students will explore topic sentences, supporting details, and concluding sentences of paragraphs. Then they will begin looking at each of those individually through a variety of activities (that are differentiated!) to help them work their way up to the cumulating activity of creating a “paragraph sandwich.”
