Very Good Allysa, who can define a paragraph? Kindly read

Mr. Kieran. Writing or constructing a paragraph is like preparing a burger,

Yes, very good what do you think is the content of the body How to get your main point?
of the paragraph? What is the main point of your paper?

Another part of the paragraph is supporting sentences/details.

Will you please read the meaning of the supporting details?

The topic sentence is always at the beginning of the paragraph

because it introduces your topic.

Canada is one of the best countries in the world to live in.

Let’s look at the burger. Writing a paragraph is just like
making your own sandwich, the bread, the filling, veggies and
everything in it. At the last sentence of the paragraph.

details and lastly is the concluding sentence.

Again, What are the parts of a paragraph? The sentences in a paragraph should connected to each other
and to the topic.

In order to have a strong paragraph we can use the transitional

find out next how to compose a paragraph effectively. Aside
from parts of paragraph, we have three principles in
constructing a paragraph.
A strong paragraph explores a single topic with details
The first principle in constructing a paragraph, the sentences following in a logical order. Paragraphs often use transitions to

Perfect. Paragraphs should have unity. Now, let’s define what

is unity, can you please read the definition of unity?

Thank you. Okay, unity means every part of the paragraph

must be the expression of one theme or topic.
Let us analyze these paragraphs, which one is a unified
paragraph? Yes, Steph?

Parts of a paragraph are Topic sentence, first supporting idea/detail,

or idea and with no more than one every sentence in the
paragraph must be closely connected with the main topic

What can we use to connect the ideas in one paragraph?

Exactly. Through the use of transition words or phrases, we

can connect and have a smooth flow of ideas in a paragraph.

Okay, which one is the coherent paragraph? think Paragraph A is a unified paragraph because it only tackles one
topic which is about club palm resort’s beaches and the ideas are
organized compare to the paragraph B.

in the paragraph should be explained and supported with
evidence in order to have an effective and strong paragraph.

Analyze these paragraphs. Which paragraph is well

developed?

I think paragraph C is the coherent paragraph because the sentences

are connected to each other through the use of transitional words.

I think that is development.

Development refers to the principle when the topic of a paragraph

should be discussed entirely and sufficiently by providing supporting
details. A paragraph is considered adequately developed if after
reading it, the reader is left with no questions.

In writing paragraph, we need to have some proofs or we need to

prove that our topic is true so we can easily catch our reader’s

Let’s try this activity.
Directions: Read the given topic sentence. If you are to
write something about these following topic sentences,
what would it be? Write at least 3-5 sentences to support
each topic.

Now, after learning about parts of paragraph. What is the

importance of using transitional devices in our everyday life?

The three principles in constructing a paragraph are unity, coherence

and development.

Thank you so much Steff. A useful way of understanding

paragraph structure is to think of it as a block that is divided
into three sections: the beginning, the middle, and the end.

Do you have any more questions?

If none, kindly get 1 whole sheet of paper.

It is important to learn the part of paragraph because using the

proper process and clear structure of writing paragraph helps
guide the reader through your written work.
V. Evaluation
Directions: In the given paragraph, identify the topic sentence, supporting details, and the concluding sentence used. To answer
this, use the “Hamburger graphic organizer”

1.Being a celebrity is often difficult. First of all, celebrities have to look almost perfect all the time because there’s always a
photographer ready to take an unflattering picture of a famous person looking dumpy in old clothes. Celebrities also sacrifice
their private lives and most of their personal struggles, divorces, or family tragedies all end up as front-page news. Last, and
most frightening of all, celebrities are in constant danger of the wrong kind of attention. Threatening letters and even physical
attacks from crazy fans are things a celebrity must contend with.

Directions: Write a simple paragraph describing your challenges as a student. Explain in vivid words what made you
feel bad or good. For example, in dealing with your classmate or doing projects or homework. Make sure that your ideas
are linked in a logical sequence or order. You may choose the topics below.
