Welcome

The Big Mac Paragraph

We recently learned how to write a polished paragraph. We know there are three key points:

Think of it like a big mac

you've got...

the sesame seed bun and the...

two all beef patties

special sauce

lettuce

cheese

pickles

onions 

all held together by the second half of the sesame seed bun...

1. A great topic sentence that grabs the readers attention. It introduces an interesting topic and adds some sort of feeling or emotion.  Think of the attention grabber as the sesame seeds.  This kind of bun is much more enticing than a plain, flat boring bun!

2. The body of the paragraph supports the topic with vivid verbs and colorful adjectives.  I wonder what is in that special sauce!?

3. A closing sentence brings your paragraph to a natural ending.  What would a big mac be with out the bottom bun?  Messy.

By the way...

Q:  How does Ronald McDonald introduce his wife?

A:  Meet Patty
