Interactive worksheet teaching paragraph structure using a hamburger model.

Let's solve the worksheet step by step and explain each part.

Task 1: Match the Definitions with the Parts of the Paragraph

We are given three parts of a paragraph:
- Topic sentence
- Supporting sentences
- Concluding sentence

And three definitions:
- Reinforces the idea of the topic sentence
- Indicates what the paragraph is about
- Give more information about the topic

#### ✔ Correct Matches:

1. Topic sentence → Indicates what the paragraph is about
➤ This is the main idea of the paragraph. It tells the reader what the paragraph will be discussing.

2. Supporting sentences → Give more information about the topic
➤ These sentences provide details, examples, or explanations to support the topic sentence.

3. Concluding sentence → Reinforces the idea of the topic sentence
➤ This wraps up the paragraph and often restates or summarizes the main idea in a different way.

Task 2: Order the Sentences into the Correct Part of the Paragraph

We have four sentences about *The Festival of San Juan*. We need to place them in the correct order based on their role in the paragraph.

Sentences:
1. "We celebrate The Festival of San Juan in June, every year."
2. "We celebrate San Juan, the saint and we also celebrate the traditions of the Amazon region of Peru."
3. "The Festival of San Juan is a traditional celebration in Pucalpa, Iquitos and other cities in the jungle of Peru."
4. "So, it is a very important celebration for us."
5. "In this festival, there are colourful parades, amazing costumes and music concerts too."

Now, let’s analyze each sentence and assign it to the correct part of the paragraph (like a hamburger structure):

---

#### 🔹 Step 1: Identify the Topic Sentence

This sentence should introduce the main idea — that the Festival of San Juan is celebrated.

➡️ Best choice:
"We celebrate The Festival of San Juan in June, every year."
✔️ This clearly states the main topic — the annual celebration of San Juan.

> ✔ Topic Sentence

---

#### 🔹 Step 2: Identify Supporting Sentences

These give more detail about the festival.

Let’s look at the remaining sentences:

- "The Festival of San Juan is a traditional celebration in Pucalpa, Iquitos and other cities in the jungle of Peru."
➤ Gives location and cultural context. ✔️ Supporting

- "In this festival, there are colourful parades, amazing costumes and music concerts too."
➤ Describes activities during the festival. ✔️ Supporting

- "We celebrate San Juan, the saint and we also celebrate the traditions of the Amazon region of Peru."
➤ Explains the dual purpose of the celebration (religious + cultural). ✔️ Supporting

So we have three supporting sentences.

---

#### 🔹 Step 3: Identify the Concluding Sentence

This one wraps up the paragraph and reinforces the importance.

➡️ "So, it is a very important celebration for us."
✔️ This summarizes the significance of the festival and concludes the paragraph.

> ✔ Concluding Sentence

✔ Final Order (Hamburger Structure):

| Hamburger Layer | Sentence |
|------------------------|--------|
| TOPIC SENTENCE | We celebrate The Festival of San Juan in June, every year. |
| SUPPORTING SENTENCE 1 | The Festival of San Juan is a traditional celebration in Pucalpa, Iquitos and other cities in the jungle of Peru. |

💡 Explanation of the "Hamburger Paragraph" Model:

The "hamburger" model helps students visualize paragraph structure:
- Top bun = Topic sentence
- Meat & veggies = Supporting sentences (layers of details)
- Bottom bun = Concluding sentence

It ensures a clear, logical flow: introduce → support → conclude.
