Paragraph
and
Its Types
 Paragraph
A paragraph is a group of
sentences about one topic. It
contains a topic sentence,
supporting details, and
sometimes a concluding
sentence. The sentences follow
one another from the beginning
to the end of the paragraph. A
paragraph is usually part of a
longer piece of writing, such as
a letter or an essay.
 Topic Sentence

The topic sentence is

usually the first sentence of the
paragraph. It states the main
idea of the paragraph. A good
topic sentence tells the reader
exactly what the rest of the
paragraph will be about.
 Topic Sentence
Example

Terry Fox was a Canadian who

suffered from bone cancer and
raised awareness for cancer
research by trying to run across
Canada.
 Supporting Sentences
The supporting sentences
are the middle sentences of the
paragraph. They provide details
such as explanations or
examples that expand or support
the topic sentence. Supporting
sentences are sometimes
connected by transition words
or phrases.
 Supporting Sentences
Example
He attracted a lot of attention by
running the distance of a marathon
daily on one prosthetic leg. He also
challenged each Canadian citizen to
contribute one dollar to cancer
research. Unfortunately, Fox was
forced to end his run near Thunder
Bay because of health complications.
The CTV network organized a
nationwide run to continue Fox’s
fundraising efforts.
 Concluding Sentence

The concluding sentence is

sometimes used in longer
paragraphs to summarize the
ideas presented. It expresses the
same idea as the topic sentence
but in different words. It can
start with a transition such as
clearly or in conclusion.
 Concluding Sentence
Example

Clearly, Terry Fox had an

impact on both cancer research
and the millions of Canadians
who participate in the Terry Fox
Run every year.

PARAGRAPH FORM
Directions: Chronologically arrange the following
sentences according to the parts of a paragraph. Post
each sentence according to the number provided.
 PARAGRAPH FORM
Being a celebrity is often difficult. First, celebrities must
always look almost perfect. There’s always a photographer
ready to take an unflattering picture of a famous person
looking dumpy in old clothes. Celebrities also sacrifice their
private lives. Their personal struggles, divorces, or family
tragedies all end up as front-page news. Last, and most
frightening of all, celebrities are in constant danger of the
wrong kind of attention. Threatening letters and even physical
attacks from crazy fans are things a celebrity must contend
with. Clearly, these difficulties are what define celebrities.
