Writing About a Topic
Grade 1 · English Language Arts · Writing · Hawaii, USA
Lesson Summary
Write a few sentences about one main topic.
Explanation
When you write about a topic, all your sentences should be about the same thing. Start by naming your topic in the first sentence.

Some dogs can learn tricks.' Staying on topic keeps your writing clear.
