Stoplight Paragraph



So far we have gathered and paraphrased a lot of research on our book topics . The research is divided by chapter topic. Now, we can begin creating our chapter paragraphs. It can be tempting to shove all of the paraphrased research together to create a paragraph, but we can write better than that! Remember, each paragraph should flow well and sound cohesive. Be sure to follow the stoplight paragraph above to include a topic sentence, supporting sentences, and a closing sentence. The topic and closing sentences will not have any researched information. These sentences are for introducing the topic and concluding the paragraph only.

Below is a link to a Google Doc that we will use for practice.
