Paragraph Structure

A lesson plan looking at the ideal structure of paragraph for an essay, article, etc. The plan outlines the idea of a topic sentence and what follows it. The materials is based on the lesson plan from Tim’s Free English Lesson Plans, I have changed some of the sentences in the example paragraph to better illustrate the structure and offer alternatives.

I wasn’t very happy with the topics suggested at the end of the lesson plan so I added a few of my own that are more relevant to the exams my students are taking.

  • Artificial Intelligence will replace many jobs in the future.
  • Climate change is a serious threat to our planet.

  • Remote work is the future of employment.
