Paragraph of The Week: A Daily Practice Approach To Paragraph Writing

Week
A Daily Practice
Approach to
Paragraph Writing
Created by: Stephanie Moorman

www.teachinginroom6.com
Thank you so much for purchasing this Paragraph of the Week Resource. I have been using it
in my classroom, with great success, and I am hopeful that you will have the same results.
This packet is organized by writing topics. There are four sections of writing topics, with 9 weeks
of paragraph ideas within each topic. The paragraph ideas are fairly universal, and your
students should not have much trouble writing about them. The point of this packet is to have
your students practicing the format of paragraph writing, creating supporting details, and
topic/closing sentences….not to be so focused on the content of the writing that they shut
down.
The first 18 weeks (Level 1) are heavily scaffolded, resulting in a rough draft of a paragraph at
the end of the week. These paragraphs can then be used during workshop or as models to
help go through the rest of the writing process. The second 18 weeks (Level 2) are designed to
get your students using the entire writing process independently (once they have become
more proficient at the art of paragraph writing.) The students will take the paragraphs through
the entire writing process throughout the week and return to school at the end with a final
draft of the paragraph.
Each week’s topic contains a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday page. I copy
these off back to back and staple the two pages together. The students receive their
Paragraph of the Week pack on Monday night for homework, and return it on Friday morning
with a completed paragraph. These are scaffolded to allow your students the maximum
opportunity for success. Because many schools are limiting the number of copies that can be
made, I also included a 5th page with all the weekly tasks condensed down to one page. The
students can then use regular notebook paper for their work.
If you enjoy these activities, and find them useful to your students and your classroom, please
come back and leave feedback. I would love to hear from you!
If you would like to make a suggestion, have a comment, or a concern, PLEASE feel free to
contact me at TeachinginRoom6@yahoo.com before leaving feedback. I will be able to
make any corrections or help you that way.

Paragraph of the Week
Ⓡ
How To Use Level 1

The order of each of the paragraph scaffolds found here is the same as that in which I am teaching in my classroom. When
students go to write a paragraph (and eventually a multi-paragraph essay) they are following these same steps. Though in
class it may happen faster than this, the weekly format of these pages is designed to help your students become proficient at
writing a single paragraph, and then to take those same skills and write a multi-paragraph essay.
Each day of the week, for the first level (All About Me and What Would
Happen If sections) of this resource are outlined as follows:
The students brainstorm all ideas and details they can think of
that fall within the subject that is being asked. Students
Monday should not write in complete sentences, just bulleted thoughts
and ideas. They will write all over the space provided.
Each idea should be contained within a different space.
Remind them that not everything will be included in their
actual sentences, but the more they have, the easier their
writing will be.
Beginning with the BODY sentences of the paragraph allows

the students to get the main details set before they write a
Tuesday topic sentence about the whole thing. Allowing them a
chance to write the “meat and potatoes” of their paragraph
first makes writing the topic sentence a bit easier (and then
helps them when they eventually transition to
multi-paragraph essays) This also prevents the topic
sentence from boxing in the students and locking them into a
very, very narrow topic.
Now that the body is complete, the topic sentence and

closing sentence can be used to sum up what was written.
Wednesday These sentences are the main idea of the body sentences
and should be written as such. Be sure they don’t give
anything away!
This day is the time when all of the previous sentences are
put together into one, cohesive paragraph. The students
Thursday do not need to do any new writing here….just re-write the
sentences they already wrote on the previous days!
© S.Moorman, 2012 (revised 2019) www.teachinginroom6.com

Level 1 Sample
The following are samples of what your students should be doing for each day of the week. You can see that
they will not use every brainstorm idea in the final paragraph. However, encourage your students to spend a
lot of time on the pre-write, as the more ideas they have, the easier the final writing will be for them.
In the later part of the week, the students will be using their brainstorm page still to construct their paragraphs. They should have
access to it all week. You can also see that the final paragraph is made up of all the sentences they wrote up until this point.

How To Use Level 2

The order of each of the paragraph scaffolds found here is the same as that in which I am teaching in my classroom. When
students go to write a paragraph (and eventually a multi-paragraph essay) they are following these same steps. Though in
class it may happen faster than this, the weekly format of these pages is designed to help your students become proficient at
writing a single paragraph, and then to take those same skills and write a multi-paragraph essay.
In the second level, the shift focuses from paragraph construction to

taking each piece through the entire writing process. Each day of the
week, for the second level (Pick and Choose and It’s a Matter of
Opinion) of this resource are outlined as follows:
The students brainstorm all ideas and details they can think of
that fall within the subject that is being asked. Students
Monday should not write in complete sentences, just bulleted
thoughts and ideas. Remind them that not everything will be
included in their actual sentences, but the more they have,
the easier their writing will be.
Now that the students are more proficient at writing a

paragraph, they will compose the entire thing in one night
Tuesday (which, they probably already are doing at this point
anyway).They should still follow the same “rules”, writing the
detail/explanations first, then the topic and closing
sentences. This will serve as the students’ rough draft.
The students will use this day to revise their piece. Choosing
TWO of the sentences they wrote, the students will use what
Wednesday they are learning in class about revising and editing, to make
their sentences better. They will also use the revising checklist
that is attached to each sheet to help them to make the
sentence better. Students should be encouraged to not only
stop at two sentences, but are only required to work on two.
Now, using the attached rubric, the students will write their
final draft. This should be as “perfect” as the students can
Thursday get. They should include their revisions, write as neatly as they
can, and have it follow the rubric as closely as possible. You
can then grade them according to the rubric.

Level 2 Sample
The following are samples of what your students should be doing for each day of the week. You can see that
they will not use every brainstorm idea in the final paragraph. However, encourage your students to spend a
lot of time on the pre-write, as the more ideas they have, the easier the final writing will be for them.
In the later part of the week, the students will be using their paragraph written on Tuesday to revise, edit, and create a
final draft out of. Students will use the rubric and revising checklist during this part of the week.

Writing Topics
All About Me
Level 1
There are nine weeks of Paragraph of the

Week pages that all fall under the category of
“All About Me”. The students will be writing
about themselves and their opinions -- their
favorite topic! This allows the students to
focus on the format of paragraphing, instead
of on the subjects they need to write about.
My Trip To.... pg 13 – 17
My Favorite Subject pg 18 – 22
One Thing I am Good at pg 23 – 27
My Best Birthday Present pg 28 – 32
A Memorable Celebration pg 33 – 37
A Food I Do Not Like pg 38 – 42
My Typical Morning pg 43 – 47
Something I am Scared Of pg 48 – 52
I am Most Proud Of pg 53 - 57
You may use these in any order you wish,

as they do not build upon each other.

Over the course of this week, you will be writing a paragraph. You will choose a topic
(within the given parameters) and will brainstorm, draft, and write a complete paragraph. Be
sure to use all that we have learned in class when writing this paragraph. So let’s get started!
Brainstorm all that you know about a trip that

Monday you have taken. This could be as simple as
going to the store with your mom, or
something bigger like a trip to Guatemala.
Be sure to include every detail you can think
of about the trip.

Topic sentences tell the reader exactly what you will discuss in your paragraph without
giving away any of the details. Closing sentences sum up what you have already written.
They are the “frame” for your paragraph.
Now that you have your details and explanations

Wednesday written, you must write a topic sentence and closing
sentence. Remember, your topic sentence must let
the reader know what you are going to talk about in
your paragraph, without discussing any of the
details. Your closing sentence must restate your
topic sentence, using synonyms and different words.

A paragraph talks about one topic, with many sentences all supporting that topic.
This is when you will construct that paragraph.
It is time to put all of your work together in the form

Thursday of a paragraph. The topic sentence goes first,
followed by the detail, explanation combo
sentences. The last sentence is your closing
sentence.
Reread it all and make sure it makes sense. It should

all be about the same topic, give lots of information,
and be written in complete sentences.
