This resource gives students practice identifying the parts of a strong informational paragraph while they read, think, discuss, organize, and build. Students read a set of sentence strips, determine the best order for the paragraph, and identify the silly sentence that does NOT belong.
Rather than completing another traditional worksheet, students physically manipulate the sentences and use clues within the text to determine how the ideas fit together. It’s perfect for ELA centers, small groups, partner work, intervention, review, or independent practice.
Students will practice:
Identifying a topic sentence
Recognizing supporting details
Identifying a concluding sentence
Putting sentences in logical order
Determining which sentence does not belong
Understanding informational paragraph structure
Discussing and explaining their thinking
