Look at the organization of a paragraph, Oreo Style!

Topic Sentence:

Crunchy creamy Oreo cookies and paragraph share common ingredients. Like the chocolate sandwich on top of an Oreo, a paragraph’s topic sentence provides a delicious introduction to the main idea of the paragraph.

Supporting Details:

Inside the paragraph, the rich smooth filling or the supportive details support and develop the topic sentence. At the bottom of the cookie and at the end of the paragraph, the delectable experience ends off with a final chocolatey crunch or a clincher sentence that restates the main idea in a powerful, new way. If necessary, it also gives the transition to the next Oreo.

Concluding Sentence:

In summary, when biting into a scrumptious Oreo cookie, remember, it has three parts just like a paragraph.
