What Kind Is It?

Worksheet Description

This worksheet is designed to help students differentiate between topic sentences and concluding sentences. It contains a list of eight sentences, and the student’s task is to read each one and decide if it represents a topic sentence or a concluding sentence. The sentences cover various subjects, from the value of free things in life to the importance of contributing to the well-being of the environment. The worksheet uses a simple format, with each sentence numbered and followed by a line where the student can write their answer.

The primary objective of this worksheet is to enhance students’ understanding of the structure of paragraphs and the role of concluding sentences. By evaluating each sentence, students learn to identify how a concluding sentence summarizes the main points or presents a final thought on a topic, as opposed to a topic sentence that introduces the main idea. This exercise aims to develop students’ analytical skills in distinguishing the purpose and positioning of sentences within a paragraph. It is a foundational skill that helps in crafting coherent and logically flowing written pieces.
