Looking at the worksheet, I need to identify supporting sentences from the paragraph about making ice cream.
First, let me understand what a supporting sentence is:
- A supporting sentence gives more information or details that help explain or prove the main idea (topic sentence)
- It comes after the topic sentence and before the concluding sentence
Now let me look at the paragraph:
"Did you know that you can make your own ice cream? Lots of people use a special machine, but you can make it with just a few things. You need milk, sugar, flavoring, two zip lock bags and some ice. First, you put the milk, sugar, and flavoring into a bag and zip it up tight. Fill a larger bag with ice and rock salt and place the bag with milk inside it. Then you make sure both bags are sealed. The final step is to gently shake and massage the bag. After a few minutes you will have your very own homemade ice cream!"
The topic sentence is: "Did you know that you can make your own ice cream?"
The concluding sentence is: "After a few minutes you will have your very own homemade ice cream!"
So the supporting sentences are all the sentences in between that give details about how to make ice cream:
1. "Lots of people use a special machine, but you can make it with just a few things."
2. "You need milk, sugar, flavoring, two zip lock bags and some ice."
3. "First, you put the milk, sugar, and flavoring into a bag and zip it up tight."
4. "Fill a larger bag with ice and rock salt and place the bag with milk inside it."
5. "Then you make sure both bags are sealed."
6. "The final step is to gently shake and massage the bag."
Any two of these would be correct answers.
Final Answer:
Two supporting sentences from the paragraph are:
"You need milk, sugar, flavoring, two zip lock bags and some ice."
and
"First, you put the milk, sugar, and flavoring into a bag and zip it up tight."
