Imagine you’ve built the perfect burger: a warm, toasty bun, juicy fillings, and a crunchy finish. But then, you bite into it... and it’s missing something!

A great paragraph is the same way. You know the parts—topic sentence, new ideas, and conclusion—but now it’s time to make your paragraph truly delicious by adding the right balance of flavor, excitement, and meaning.

  • Are you ready to turn your paragraph into a masterpiece?

You’ve learned about the parts of a paragraph—topic sentences, new ideas with explanations or examples, and conclusions.

You know how to write each part, but how do you combine them to write the perfect paragraph?

Take it up a notch!

A perfect paragraph not only includes all the basic parts but also ties them together in a way that makes your writing clear, interesting, and fun to read.

Here’s how to take your skills to the next level.

Topic Sentence

Start with a bang! Your topic sentence should introduce your main idea clearly and grab your reader's attention.

Whether stating an opinion, using a number, being explicit, or combining different styles, your topic sentence should make the reader want to keep reading.

New Ideas With Explanations or Examples

This is the meat of your paragraph. Add new ideas and support them with examples or explanations that help your reader understand your point.

Make sure to use transition words like first, next, and finally to guide the reader through your ideas.

Conclusion

End with a strong conclusion that not only restates the main idea but also ties everything together. Ask yourself: "So what?"

  • Why does this matter?

Make sure your conclusion leaves the reader with a sense of closure and understanding.

Now, practice putting everything together to create a strong, well-organized, and engaging paragraph in the Got It? section!
