What will we achieve today?

Session Objective: Writes a well-structured paragraph containing a topic sentence, supporting details with connectors, and a concluding sentence.

Community Connection: We will connect this language structure to describe our own life experiences, family stories, and community realities in Popayán and the Cauca region.

Key Concepts

• Paragraph anatomy: Topic Sentence (Top bun - states the main idea), Supporting sentences (Meat/veggies - evidence, details, examples), Concluding sentence (Bottom bun - wraps up).
• Coherence and cohesion: Using transition words to link ideas smoothly.
• Formatting: Indentation and avoiding fragment sentences.
