Paragraph about a Paragraph

Writers often organize good paragraphs using a common set of guidelines. First,
writers include a topic sentence to introduce the topic or main idea of the paragraph. The
topic sentence tells what the paragraph will be about. Next, writers include supporting
sentences to explain the topic or main idea. Writers usually include at least three to
five sentences to give the reader supporting details and facts about the topic or main
idea. Including interesting facts and details helps make the paragraph informative and
interesting to read. It is important that the sentences stick to the topic. Finally, writers end
the paragraph with a concluding sentence, or their final thought about the topic or main
idea. Using these guidelines can be helpful to writing a clear and informative paragraph.

Biography Editing Checklist

Editing Checklist After checking for each type of edit, place a check here.
Meaning (It sounds right when I read it aloud.)
Partner My Own

• All my sentences have a subject and predicate.

• I included all the words I wanted to write.

• I took out repeated words or information.
• I have checked how long my sentences are and split run-on

sentences into two.
• My sequence words and phrases appropriately convey time and

order.
Format

• All my paragraphs are indented.

• I have titles set on their own line and centered on the page.

• My headings are set on their own line and left justified.

• There is a reference list in the format I was taught.

Capitals

• I began each sentence with a capital letter.

• I used capital letters for all proper nouns.

Spelling
• I have checked the spelling for any words I was unsure of or my

teacher marked.
Punctuation
• I read my writing piece aloud to check for commas at pauses and

periods, question marks, and exclamation points at the end of my
sentences.
• I used commas, quotation marks, apostrophes in places where they
belong.
• The titles in my reference list are underlined or in italics.

• Sources in my reference list are underlined or in italics.

Based on the fix-ups I found using my editing checklist, my writing will be stronger in the
future if I remember to watch out for:
