Paragraph Parts, 3 of 3

​The Goal: 

​

Knowing how a paragraph is put together is the beginning of understanding how to write great paragraphs.  Each paragraph part has a specific role.  And the pattern doesn't change, even when you write advanced essays.  In fact, there is a Hamburger model for writing essays that we will learn more about in Level 3 of the Just-Right Writing program.

So, the more you practice using the Hamburger model, the better your paragraphs, and ultimately your essays, will be.

​

Directions: 

​

1.   Below are the elements that make up the Hamburger model of a paragraph.  Use the printable document from the last two lessons to follow along.

2.  Keep in mind that transitions can happen in the supporting details and the conclusion sentence.  

​

3.  Discuss comments and questions that come up in the videos with a parent or your writing coach.
