ELD Parts of a Paragraph

by Mrs. Martin

2

​Topic Sentence

The first sentence in a body paragraph. This must have a subject and opinion (commentary) for the paragraph. It does the same thing for a body paragraph that the thesis does for the whole essay.

3

Concrete Details

Specific details that form the backbone or core of your body paragraphs. Synonyms for concrete details include facts, specifics, examples, descriptions, illustrations, support, proof, evidence, quotations, paraphrasing, or plot references.

4

​Commentary

Your opinion or comment about something; not a concrete detail. Synonyms include opinion, insight, analysis, interpretations, inference, personal response, feelings, evaluation, explication, and reflection.

5

​Closing Sentence

The last sentence in a body paragraph. It is all commentary, does not repeat key words, and gives a finished feeling to the paragraph.
