Writing Paragraphs

Paragraphs: A Bad Example I live in a house in west Provo. I like the view from our house. We have lived there since November. We also have a car that I like very much. We were in an accident a few months ago. We hit a deer that was crossing the street at night. I felt sorry for the deer, but it cost a lot of money to repair the car.

Paragraphs: A Good Example My husband and I bought our first house last November, and we love it. It is located in west Provo near Utah Lake. Although we cannot see the lake from our house, we do have a beautiful view of Mount Timpanogos. Our house has three bedrooms, two bathrooms, a living room and a family room, and a large kitchen and dining area. We also have a large backyard and a small garden. We are very happy to own our own home, and I hope that we will live there for several years.

Paragraph Structure A paragraph should have a logical structure that is easy to put into an outline: I. Topic Sentence II. Supporting Detail III. Supporting Detail IV. Supporting Detail V. Concluding Sentence

Topic Sentences A topic sentence is the sentence that tells the reader the main idea of the paragraph. The topic sentence should contain only one main idea. It should be specific and detailed. The topic sentence is often found at the beginning of the paragraph, but it can be in other places, too.

Topic Sentences: Good Examples When I was a child, I lived in a house that had a strange atmosphere. There is a canyon in Northern Arizona that is the most beautiful place on Earth. My favorite item of clothing is a comfortable, worn pair of jeans that I have had for many years.

Topic Sentences: Bad Examples I went to the Grand Canyon this winter and to Mexico in the spring of 1994. My friend is nice. I like my bedroom.

Practice with Topic Sentences Write a topic sentence for 3 of the body paragraphs from your outline. Pick one and write a complete paragraph following this structure: I. Topic Sentence II. Supporting Detail III. Supporting Detail IV. Supporting Detail V. Concluding Sentence
