A great paragraph has three important parts: the topic sentence, the new ideas with explanations or examples, and the conclusion.
Think of these like the bread and fillings in your sandwich. Here’s how it works.
Topic Sentence
This is the top slice of bread. It introduces the main idea of your paragraph, just like how the top slice of bread holds everything in place.
It gives your reader a clear idea of what to expect in the rest of your paragraph.
New Ideas With Explanations or Examples
These are the fillings of your sandwich. This part gives more details, examples, or explanations about your topic.
It helps your reader understand your main idea better and keeps them interested in what you're saying.
Conclusion
This is the bottom slice of bread, wrapping everything up. The conclusion restates your main idea in a new way, helping your reader understand the full picture of what you've shared.
Now that you know the parts of a paragraph, you can start writing your own!
