It breaks down paragraph structure into three key components: the introduction/main idea (topic sentence), supporting statements (body, evidence, explanation), and the conclusion (summary, answering 'So what?'). The guide emphasizes indenting the first sentence and ensuring the conclusion ties back to the introduction. It further illustrates these principles through two sample paragraphs: a standard five-sentence paragraph and a point-proof-explanation-conclusion paragraph. The five-sentence example highlights personal qualities of an English teacher, Mr. Richardson, using a series of facts. The second sample paragraph, also about Mr. Richardson, demonstrates the Point-Proof-Explanation-Conclusion model with a specific example of him playing Halo 5: Guardians, connecting his interest in video games to his relatability with students. The document stresses clarity and logical flow in writing.",{"@graph":63,"@context":119},[64,80,102],{"@type":65,"itemListElement":66},"BreadcrumbList",[67,71,74,77],{"item":68,"name":69,"@type":70,"position":9},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":72,"name":10,"@type":70,"position":73},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/",2,{"item":75,"name":51,"@type":70,"position":76},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/general/",3,{"item":78,"name":59,"@type":70,"position":79},"https://docshare.wps.com/template/the-hamburger-paragraph/176665/",4,{"url":78,"name":59,"@type":81,"image":82,"author":87,"headline":59,"publisher":90,"fileFormat":93,"inLanguage":57,"description":61,"dateModified":94,"datePublished":95,"encodingFormat":93,"isAccessibleForFree":96,"interactionStatistic":97},"DigitalDocument",{"url":83,"@type":84,"width":85,"height":86},"https://docshare.wps.com/thumbnails/the-hamburger-paragraph/176665.png","ImageObject",442,249,{"name":88,"@type":89},"Stanley","Person",{"url":68,"name":91,"@type":92},"DocShare","Organization","application/octet-stream","2026-09-29","2026-09-02",true,{"@type":98,"interactionType":99,"userInteractionCount":101},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":100},"ViewAction",10,{"@type":103,"mainEntity":104},"FAQPage",[105,111,115],{"name":106,"@type":107,"acceptedAnswer":108},"What are the three main parts of a hamburger paragraph?","Question",{"text":109,"@type":110},"The three main parts are the Introduction/Main Idea (topic sentence), Supporting Statements (body/evidence/explanation), and the Conclusion (summary).","Answer",{"name":112,"@type":107,"acceptedAnswer":113},"What is the purpose of the conclusion in a hamburger paragraph?",{"text":114,"@type":110},"The conclusion should tie back to the introduction and answer the question, 'So what?', summarizing the main point.",{"name":116,"@type":107,"acceptedAnswer":117},"What is an example of supporting evidence used in the 'Point•Proof•Explanation•Conclusion Paragraph' sample?",{"text":118,"@type":110},"The sample paragraph uses Mr. Richardson playing Halo 5: Guardians as specific evidence to support the point that he is relatable to his students.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":78,"og:type":121,"og:title":59,"og:site_name":91,"og:description":61},"article",{"robots":123,"canonical":78},"index,follow",{"doc_id":125,"site_id":56},176665,1789986869,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":128},{"doc_id":125,"user_id":129,"nickname":88,"user_avatar":130,"doc_module":9,"category_id":50,"category_name":51,"doc_title":59,"doc_description":61,"doc_content":131,"file_id":132,"file_url":133,"file_type":134,"file_size":135,"view_count":101,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":9,"is_downloadable":9,"audit_status":9,"page_count":73,"language":136,"language_code":57,"site_id":56,"html_lang":57,"table_of_contents":137,"faqs":138,"seo_title":139,"seo_description":61,"update_tm":140,"read_time":9},2336477405376,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_29158cc5080c5b710cf443261637dec0","~ ENG 1PI ~\nThe Hamburger Paragraph\nIntroduction/Main Idea\nalso called the “topic sentence”\nALWAYS indent the first sentence!\nSupporting Statements\nalso called the “body,” “supporting evidence,” “facts” or “explanation”\nConclusion\nalso called the “summary”\nties into your introduction\nanswers the question, “So what?”\n~ The Hamburger Paragraph ~\nSample Paragraphs\nThe Five-Sentence Paragraph\nFor a secondary school English teacher, Mr. Richardson is pretty cool.\nFirst of all, every summer, he attends Fan Expo Canada in Toronto.
