Use this graphic organizer to help you decide if what you have written is a "real paragraph." Remembering the layers of the hamburger can help you remember to write complete paragraphs!
Top Bun: Main Idea - What is your paragraph going to be about? This should be one sentence.
Tomatoes: Detail #1 - What is one way you can talk about your main idea?
Lettuce: Detail #2 - What is a second way you can support your main idea?
Burger: Detail #3 - What is a third way you can discuss your main idea?
Bottom Bun: Concluding Sentence - Sum up what you have talked about - make it end smoothly.
You can click on the picture of the burger at the top of this post, and it will make a bigger picture for you. This would be a good thing to print out and put in your folder for you to look at when you make posts.
I feel good about being in ela resource room although mr ney is very mean and he talks about sports too much.
