“A paragraph is Like…a triple stuffed oreo!”

Crunchy, creamy Oreo cookies and paragraphs share common ingredients. Like the

chocolate sandwich on top of the Oreo, a paragraph’s topic sentence provides a delicious

introduction to the main idea of the paragraph. 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 with a final chocolaty crunch or

with a clincher sentence that restates the main idea in a powerful, new way. In summary, when

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

Paragraphs—You’ve heard of Oreos…single stuffed and double

stuffed…BUT have you heard of

TRIPLE STUFFED Oreos?
