HOW TO WRITE A PARAGRAPH FOR ELEMENTARY STUDENTS

So what exactly is a paragraph?

A paragraph is a collection of sentences that share the same idea.

Writing a paragraph is often likened to layering a hamburger.

The first sentence (or layer) is a topic sentence.

The second sentence provides further detail about the topic sentence.

The third sentence provides further detail and possibly an explanation about the topic.

The last sentence is basically a conclusion of the above!
