Paragraph Puzzles Writing Bundle
Do you need a hands-on approach to writing a paragraph for your students? Or maybe paragraph writing is new to your entire class and you want a scaffolded resource for your teaching in 2nd grade, 3rd grade, or 4th grade!
Try my themed paragraph puzzles! This tactile method helps students see exactly how the topic sentence can lead to details.
What does this download include?
60 different paragraphs (6 for each month), with each sentence in its own box. Cut the boxes out into strips and allow students to piece the paragraph back together!
3 different writing pages for students to copy paragraphs onto. One has boxes for each type of sentence (topic, details, conclusion), one has writing lines with no guidance, and one has space for students to add extra details.
3 different paragraph prompts on writing pages for students to write their own paragraphs on after learning about paragraph structure!
A tip sheet with pointers on lessons you can teach to differentiate and scaffold paragraph writing with your class!
How to Use:
Print and cut the sentences on each paragraph page into strips. Allow students to manipulate the sentences with their hands to find the topic sentence, key details, and conclusion.
Print an additional copy to use as an answer key. (the sentences on each page are already in order!)
Use the differentiated graphic organizers to allow students to write their paragraphs after building. One graphic organizer also encourages students to add extra details, which allows you to differentiate.
After building a few paragraphs, extend your lesson by allowing students to write their own! Writing paper with September-themed paragraph prompts are included.
If you prefer to use digitally, assign the Google Slides document to their students, so they can practice unscrambling paragraphs, digitally! (Two versions are included.)
