Chapter Overview
A paragraph is a group of sentences about one main idea. Class 3 writing tasks ask for 6–8 sentences on topics like my pet, a rainy day, or a festival. Each paragraph needs a topic sentence, supporting details, and a closing line.
Structure
- Topic sentence: states main idea
- Body: 4–5 sentences with details, examples, or steps
- Closing sentence: sums up or gives a feeling
Unity and Order
- All sentences must relate to one topic
- Use sequence words: first, next, then, finally
- One idea per sentence; avoid jumping topics
