Let's start with a title. We are writing an expository paragraph about our vacation, so the title should have something to do with that.
We need to begin our paragraph with a topic sentence. This sentence states the topic, so you will introduce your vacation spot.
Now, it's time to add your information. Take a look at the graphic organizer you filled out yesterday. This will help you build the body of your paragraph.
Let's wrap up your paragraph by writing your closing sentence. You are reminding the reader what your paragraph was about. Your topic sentence can help you write your closing sentence. |
