Ditch the worksheet! This self-paced, self-checking mini lesson with intervention includes 64 interactive Google Slides™ that help students identify and learn the difference between a strong or weak topic sentence. The lesson first explains what a strong topic sentence is and what it isn't. Then, through a series of ten examples, student practice recognizing a strong versus a weak topic sentence along with justifying why it is one or the other.

⬆️ Try out the lesson's clickable interactivity at the end of the preview file!

You do not need to assign a copy to each student for independent learning. Instead, you should share this lesson with students in Presentation mode. To do this, go to the URL address of the Google Slides™ presentation, find the word "/edit," delete all that follows it, and replace it with "/present."

I recommend placing students into pairs to encourage conversation about correct and incorrect responses. You will have to stress to students to take this practice seriously otherwise it could just turn into a "click-fest." They need to want to select the correct response the first time.

ALTERNATIVELY, you could use this slides presentation as a whole-class, game-style learning opportunity. If you have mini white boards, pass them out to students to answer along the way as an informal formative assessment.
