Description
Do your students struggle to understand the basic structure of a paragraph? This Paragraph Color Coding and Outlining Packet can help! This print and digital unit will allow you to directly teach your students the organization of a paragraph and help them create better outlines. This paperless and print packet is a nice addition to any writing program and can be used successfully in any classroom.
I can't say enough about how much I love teaching basic paragraph writing using the explicit writing step-by-step method. When students understand the "recipe" for a paragraph, their writing becomes so much stronger. Color coding and outlining have really helped my students craft much more organized and cohesive paragraphs.
TEACHERS ARE SAYING:
"This was a great resource to use to help my learners understand the structure of a paragraph. It had them practice identifying topic sentences and conclusions, but more importantly, it had them look for the three supporting points of the paragraph. My learners loved the opportunity to take out their colored pencils, and it was a great way to talk about how they can use transition words in their own paragraphs. I will definitely be using this again next year!"- Amber, 6th Grade Teacher ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"A week ago my students had no idea what a topic sentence was. They couldn't find the main points in a paragraph. They didn't understand what supporting details were. They were guessing at which sentence was the concluding sentence. Now, after working through just HALF of these paragraphs, they are confidently identifying everything with ease! Thank you!" Carla, 10th Grade SPED Teacher ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
"I have started to implement this in small group rotations and have begun to see student work improving! This is a great resource!" - Clarissa, 3rd Grade SPED Teacher ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
