Words of the Day

1. Elaborate

2. Fact

 

Let's Begin!

How was your introduction? Did you introduce your topic?

Today, we are going to write topic sentences!

 

A topic sentence is a sentence that introduces a paragraph by presenting the one topic that will be the focus of that paragraph. 

Remember, 1 different topic sentence equals 1 new paragraph.

 

Now, let's look at the structure:

Sentence 1 - Topic sentence

Example: Fennec foxes have a very fluffy look.

 

Sentence 2 - Explain your topic sentence.

Example: They have long, soft, and thick coats.

 

Sentence 3 - Explain your topic sentence.

Example: Their tails are very bushy.

 

Sentence 4 - Give an example.

Example: For example, touching a Fennec fox feels like holding a teddy bear! 

So, it will look something like this:

    Fennec foxes are very fluffy! They have long, soft, and thick coats. Their tails are very bushy. For example, touching a Fennec fox feels like holding a teddy bear!
