Overview - BASIC PARAGRAPH PRACTICE 1
Give students a fool-proof strategy for writing paragraphs with this complete writing program by PCI's Kristina Swann. When faced with a standardized-test prompt, journal topic, or essay question, many students have difficulty deciding what to write, how much to write, and what order to write in. Use this process to help.
THE STEP-BY-STEP PROCESS Using a graphic organizer, students write a five-sentence paragraph, including a topic sentence, three detail sentences, and a concluding sentence. Each sentence goes in its own box so that students can be sure to include all the parts. The last step is to rewrite the five sentences in paragraph form.
100 "REAL-WORLD" TOPICS Who do you admire? Who are your favorite musicians? What cities would you like to visit? What are your favorite things to wear? What foods would you be least likely to try? Think about your best friend. Why is he or she your best friend?

"BASIC PARAGRAPH PRACTICE 1"
by
Spec Ed Tutor Tuesday, June 24, 2008
This is a unique strategy for developing writing from the very basics of letters to a complete paragraph. The easy to identify with symbols help students know at a glance what they need to write and add. Many writing strategies start at higher levels with the expectation that students can form complete thoughts and express them in phrases and sentences. This book takes it much lower and slower and it ideal for those students who need repetition and structure to grasp, comprehend, and apply it in writing. It’s a wonderfully developed product that is ideal for beginning writings but ageless in design and could be used for any special ed student who needs additional help or guidance with writing.
