Description

This resource teaches the skill of paragraphing in writing.
 
This resource introduces students to paragraphs, why we use them, when we use them, and how to use them. It is designed to help students learn, remember, and practice separating their sentences into paragraphs. It also allows students to understand and practice the structure of paragraph writing. We have also included teaching slides and activities to teach students how to use transition words.
 
In this resource, you will find the following:
  • Slides that explain what a paragraph is.
  • When to Paragraph’ rules
  • I Do, We Do, and You Do – following the gradual release model, students can learn and be guided to create paragraphs independently.
  • Slides that explain the structure of a paragraph (we use an ice cream sundae as a visual of this).
  • Activities to practice forming a paragraph using the correct structure.
  • Slides that explain transition words.
  • Activities to practice identifying and using transition words.
 
These activities work alongside a range of mnemonics that you can use to teach the structure of a paragraph.
 
This resource uses the gradual release of responsibility model (I do, we do, you do).
  • The ‘I Do’ section of this resource is designed to be taught by the teacher, working through the exemplar pages and following the process.
  • The ‘We Do’ section provides text opportunities for the teacher and students to work through the process together.
  • The ‘You Do’ sections allow students to create paragraphs independently.

THIS RESOURCE, AND OUR FULL RESOURCE RANGE IS ALSO AVAILABLE IN OUR TOP TEACHING TASKS MEMBERSHIP.
