EXTENSION:
Put students with a partner. Have them 
go back to Practice 5 (page 9) and write 
one more supporting sentence for each 
paragraph. Have each pair share its 
sentences with another pair.
EXTENSION:
Choose one or more paragraphs from 
Practice 3 (page 7) and have students put 
the sentences in the correct order. Go 
over the answers with the class. Discuss 
the signals students used to fi gure out the 
correct order. Point out that they will learn 
more about transition signals in Chapter 2.
The Concluding Sentence 
(page 14)
• Note: To review that clauses for use in 
concluding sentences, see Chapter 11, 
page 207.
• Have students take turns reading the 
introduction aloud. Explain that a summary 
refers back to the supporting points in 
a paragraph, whereas a paraphrase is 
a restatement of the topic sentence in 
different words. 
• Look at the chart of end-of-paragraph 
signals with the class. Ask students what 
grammatical structure comes after the 
signals in the list (the signals in both 
columns are followed by independent 
clauses).
• Read the directions for Practice 8. Have 
students read and answer the questions 
alone. Then have them compare answers 
with a partner.
EXTENSION:
Have students reread the model paragraph 
on page 3. Ask if the concluding sentence 
summarizes or paraphrases the topic 
sentence (it summarizes the two main 
points in the paragraph).
• Read the directions for Practice 9. After 
students complete the exercise, have 
volunteers write their conclusions on 
the board. Analyze each one by asking: 
“Is it a paraphrase or a summary? If 
it is a paraphrase, does it restate the 
topic sentence in different words? If it 
is a summary, does it refer back to the 
supporting ideas in the paragraph? Did the 
writer use an end-of-paragraph signal? Did 
the writer use correct punctuation?”
