Titanoboa Introduction Paragraph

Use the fact file and writing tasks to plan and write an introduction paragraph about Titanoboa. An introduction should tell readers what the topic is and give a clear preview of the information to come.

Titanoboa fact file

Titanoboa was a huge snake that lived about 60 million years ago, in what is now Colombia. Fossils show that some Titanoboas may have reached about 13 metres long. It lived in a hot, wet rainforest and swamp environment. Scientists think it ate fish and other animals. Titanoboa is known from fossils discovered in a coal mine.

Plan your introduction

A useful paragraph structure is TIDE: Topic sentence, Important information, Details, Ending sentence. Your introduction does not need to include every fact; choose a few that help orient your reader.

1.In your own words, explain what an introduction paragraph does for a reader.

2.Which sentence would make the clearest topic sentence for an information paragraph about Titanoboa?

Snakes can be interesting pets.
Titanoboa was a giant prehistoric snake that lived in the region now known as Colombia.
Colombia has many cities and mountains.
I think the rainforest is exciting.

3.Choose two facts from the fact file that would help introduce Titanoboa to someone who has never heard of it. Write both facts.

4.Which detail is the least useful in an introduction about Titanoboa?

It was a snake.
It lived millions of years ago.
The writer likes the colour green.
Fossils of it were discovered in a coal mine.

5.Put these possible paragraph parts in a sensible order by writing 1, 2, 3 or 4 beside each: ___ a detail about its habitat; ___ a sentence introducing Titanoboa; ___ an ending that previews the paragraph; ___ an important fact about its size.

6.Improve this weak sentence so it gives a precise, informative opening: “Titanoboa was big.”

7.Combine these ideas into one smooth sentence: Titanoboa lived about 60 million years ago. It lived in the area that is now Colombia.

8.Write a possible ending sentence for an introduction that previews what a reader could learn about Titanoboa. Include at least two ideas, such as its size, habitat, diet or discovery.

9.Write your own introduction paragraph about Titanoboa. Include a clear topic sentence, at least two accurate facts, and a final sentence that previews what the reader could find out next. Use your own wording.
