In order to help kids understand the format of a paragraph I teach the "Hamburger Paragraph". The idea is this.....
□ Your top bun is for your topic sentence or your strong opening sentence.
□ The sentences that come next are your supporting details. They are the heart of the hamburger, just like meat, tomatoes, lettuce, etc.
□ Holding it all together is the bottom bun of the hamburger. It should be an interesting conclusion sentence.
We will have these to practice for homework tonight, also, don't forget to practice spellling words!
