Topic Sentences Checklist

About this printable

This printable is a teacher-facing student worksheet that defines a topic sentence, lists what makes a strong topic sentence, and provides a success-criteria table (six numbered criteria) with columns for Self, Peer, and Teacher checks. It also includes a short 'Feedback & Next Steps' box and a tip to prompt revision work. Use it as a scaffold during paragraph-writing lessons, for peer review activities, or as a short assessment/feedback tool.
