D. Abstraction The teacher discusses with the class the lesson on the parts of a paragraph.

The parts of a simple paragraph normally include:

A. Topic Sentence

The topic sentence is usually the first sentence in a paragraph. It is the most
important sentence in the paragraph. It is called the topic sentence because it tells the
reader what the topic of the paragraph is. It tells the reader what he or she is going to
read. It introduces the main idea which will be supported by the rest of the sentences.

B. Supporting Details

They come after the topic sentence. They tell more about the main idea. They give
the important details and describe the main idea for better understanding.

silk webs to trap food. Such webs are sticky that when an insect flies into one, it cannot
escape. Some spiders leap into the air to catch their prey, and float to the ground on a
dragline or silk thread. Some spiders use sheets of silk to wrap their prey like mummies.

From the given paragraph above, the encircled sentence is the topic sentence which is
the first sentence in the paragraph while the underlined sentences are the supporting details
that describe how spiders catch food in different ways.

However, not at all times the topic sentence is the first sentence of the paragraph. It can
also be found at the middle or at the end of the paragraph.

Dogs

people find their way. Others help the policemen solve a crime.
They alarm the house owners when there are strangers around. Dogs help people in a lot of
ways.
 The topic sentence is “Dogs help people in a lot of ways.” It is the last sentence of the
paragraph while the rest of the sentences are the supporting details.

How to Write a Good Paragraph:

1. You must have a strong topic and supporting sentences that express a common idea.

2. Use specific examples from the story, quotation or write in your own words for the
supporting details or sentences.
