Organizing a basic paragraph can be very difficult.....that is why I am here to help you write an awesome body paragraph! In this video, I provide a clear example of how to format and organize a paragraph for beginners in 3 easy steps. You can follow these steps whether you are just writing one paragraph, an essay, or an entire research paper! I follow the ideas of organization that align with the 6+1 Traits of Writing. Like a house, every paragraph needs to follow a simple structure because, without it, our writing can become very messy and confusing to read. First, I explain the basic structure of a hamburger paragraph. Every paragraph must include a clear and strong topic sentence, many supporting details, and a concluding sentence to wrap up the main idea. No matter what age or grade level, I found the hamburger paragraph structure to be highly effective. Second, I provide a clear and strong example so you can see the basic structure of a hamburger paragraph in action. If you look at my paragraph you will see that my topic sentence is written in red, my supporting details are in green, and my concluding sentence is in orange. I do this intentionally so that you and I can clearly see the organization of my paragraph. It is just a helpful tool to make sure my paragraph is well written and organized. Again, my goal is to help you write a basic but organized paragraph. Third, I take the time to edit and revise my paragraph in order to make sure it is as clear and organized as possible. I suggest you take the time to reread your writing and make sure it follows the basic structure of a hamburger paragraph.
