Today, students learned about building paragraphs. They learned that often times, the main idea of the paragraph is stated in the 'TOPIC SENTENCE', which is usually the first sentence of most paragraphs. In addition to this, the students learned that paragaphs always include 'SUPPORTING SENTENCES' (examples, quotes, statistics, details, etc). They also learned that paragraphs most often end with concluding sentences.
