  1. How to write a paragraph by Ms. Krauser

  2. Writing a paragraph is just as easy as talking to a friend. The trick is to stick to the topic! Here are 3 easy steps to help you.

  3. Step 1: Tell me what you are going to tell me Your first sentence should tell me what your topic is. If your going to tell me about the effect of a particular cause….say in Charlotte’s Web… example: Wilbur’s life was completely different than other pigs because he was born a runt. This sentence lets me know you’re going to talk about the effects of Wilbur being a runt.

  4. Step 2: Tell me in detail Give some examples to prove your point. Example: Wilbur got to be raised by Fern because he was a runt and most runts don’t survive in a litter. He was also bought by Fern’s Uncle, Mr. Zuckerman, instead of a stranger because Fern wanted him near her. Living in Mr. Zuckerman’s barn meant that Wilbur met Charlotte and became her friend.

  5. Step 3: Tell me what you told me The last sentence is where you get to “wrap it up”. Example: Wilbur was a very lucky pig to be born a runt. This pulls your first thought all the way through the paragraph and sums up what you’ve said.

  6. Here’s what the runt paragraph looks like altogether: Wilbur’s life was completely different than other pigs because he was born a runt. Wilbur got to be raised by Fern because he was a runt and most runts don’t survive in a litter. He was also bought by Fern’s Uncle, Mr. Zuckerman, instead of a stranger because Fern wanted him near her. Living in Mr. Zuckerman’s barn meant that Wilbur met Charlotte and became her friend. Wilbur was a very lucky pig to be born a runt.

  7. Writing a paragraph is easy: Just remember: • Tell me what you are going to tell me • Tell me (in detail) • Tell me what you told me
