How to write a good Paragraph

Important points to remember:
• GO! Have a topic sentence that catches the attention
of the reader, and states the main topic.
• Yes, CONTINUE…3 supporting or body sentences
describe the topic more in detail
• STOP!!!! An ending sentence stops the idea, lets the
reader know the topic is over.
• ALWAYS indent the first line of the paragraph(make
space at the beginning of the first sentence)

It is a perfect sport for living in Canada, because in most

provinces we have snow for at least 5 months of the year,
so there is plenty of time to hit the slopes! Also, because
all you need is a board strapped to your feet, there is not
a lot of equipment you need to buy. This sport is also a
lot of fun to go with friends, even if itsjust going to Fort
Qu’Appelle for the day.

I love them, but I hate it when they go places with me.
They always stop to talk to EVERYONE, even if they don’t
know people that well. They tell stories about things I did
when I was little to all of their friends, my friends and my
teachers! And anytime they have to leave me or drop me
off, they kiss my face and get it all wet, or hug me until I
can’t breathe any more!
