Looking for some free hamburger paragraph templates to download and print?
The hamburger paragraph has been used to teach paragraph writing to beginning writers for years. It teaches children that you should start with a topic sentence (the top bun), write details (the hamburger and other fillings), and end with a concluding sentence (the bottom bun).
Pretty simple. (And tasty too!)
I have some free printables of the hamburger paragraph, some of which are black and white and some full-color. They should help you get the paragraph-writing format across to your kids.
