It's important to give your paragraph a title. Think about your topic. Who are you writing about? That will help you come up with a title. It can simply be the name of the person you are writing about.
We need to begin our paragraph with a topic sentence. This sentence introduces the reader to your topic or grabs their attention. Is there an interesting fact you can include?
Now, it's time to get into the biography. Use the information you wrote on your graphic organizer to help you. You should write in chronological order. Start with what happened first, and then move through the person's story, to end with how they ended up in the United States.
Let's wrap up your paragraph by writing your closing sentence. You are reminding the reader what your paragraph was about. |
