Paragraph Structure Analysis

Read each paragraph. Label its sentences: T for the topic sentence, D for supporting details, and C for the concluding sentence. Each paragraph has one T, three Ds and one C.

Analyse the paragraphs

1.In the hospital ward, quiet activities can help patients pass the time. Wiremu enjoys putting together a small puzzle beside his bed. Ruben listens to an audiobook with headphones. Levi likes drawing pictures in a notebook. These peaceful activities make the ward feel a little more welcoming.

2.A well-packed lunch can help a busy school day go smoothly. A reusable drink bottle keeps water close at hand. A container protects fruit from getting squashed in a bag. A napkin is useful for wiping sticky fingers. A little preparation makes lunchtime easier.

3.Reading aloud can make a story enjoyable for a group. A reader can change their voice to suit different characters. Pausing at exciting moments helps listeners wonder what will happen. Looking up now and then helps the audience stay involved. Sharing a story aloud can be fun for everyone.

Name each paragraph part

Use the paragraph sentences above. Write the sentence numbers requested.

4.For the hospital-ward paragraph, which sentence is the topic sentence, which three are supporting details, and which is the concluding sentence?

5.For the lunch paragraph, identify the topic sentence, the three supporting details and the concluding sentence by sentence number.

6.What does a topic sentence help a reader understand about a paragraph?

7.How do supporting details help develop a paragraph’s main idea?

Build a paragraph

Use the sentence prompts to plan a paragraph with exactly three sentences. Choose one topic: an animal you like or an activity you enjoy. Write about a made-up example if you prefer.

8.Which topic will you write about? Choose an animal you like or an activity you enjoy.

An animal I like
An activity I enjoy

9.Write a topic sentence for a three-sentence paragraph about your chosen animal or activity. It should clearly state the main idea.

10.Write one supporting detail that gives a reason, example or extra information about the animal or activity in your topic sentence.

11.Write a concluding sentence that wraps up the idea in your topic sentence and supporting detail.

12.Copy your three sentences in order to make one complete paragraph about your chosen animal or activity.
