Bell-Ringer November 29thDirections: Copy these notes in your Notebook in the Cornell Notes format. • Paragraphs are mainly made up of different kinds of sentences that have one of three purposes : • The topic sentence tells the main idea of the paragraph. • Supporting sentences give sensory details, examples, anecdotes, or statistics. • The concluding sentence sums up the paragraph in a way that lets the reader know the paragraph is over. It may restate the main idea. • Paragraph Unity • Sentences in paragraph all must fit within the same topic. If one or more doesn’t, then our paragraph is not unified.
Analyze the following paragraph: • (1)Pick out the numbered sentence that doesn’t belong in the paragraph. (2)Write down each sentence number and label it as topic, supporting, or concluding. (3)Lastly, tell what the main idea of the paragraph is. • (1)Richard Daley had to finally say goodbye to his wife yesterday. Maggie Daley died Thanksgiving evening after a long battle with cancer.
