What your child will learn: Building the Five-Paragraph Essay
- The INTRO starts with a hook and ends with your THESIS: the one sentence your whole essay proves.
- Each BODY paragraph = one reason: topic sentence → evidence/example → explain how it proves your thesis.
- Use transitions to glue paragraphs together: 'furthermore', 'in addition', 'however', 'as a result'.
- The CONCLUSION restates the thesis in fresh words and answers 'so what?', meaning why it matters.
