A paragraph has a topic sentence and a closing sentence.
A 3.5 paragraph contains at least 5 sentences, with at least 3 detail sentences.
3.5 Paragraph FormatA paragraph begins with a Topic
Sentence (the main idea of that paragraph).
Next are three Detail/Example Sentences (prove/support your topic sentence).
A paragraph ends with a Concluding Sentence (this ties the whole paragraph together).
Supporting Detail SentencesEach sentence should relate to
the topic sentence.Each sentence should be
important!Use descriptive language!
Example:Romeo is beautiful and easy to
care for. He is a tricolor Sheltie, mostly black with white and a bit of brown. Caring for him is easy because I simply have to make sure he has fresh water and food every day. I exercise him by throwing his toys. Because he is good looking and doesn’t require much care Romeo is a good pet.
