This document is a Hamburger Writing Strategy Graphic Organizer designed to help students structure a single paragraph. The visual structure of a hamburger guides the organization. The paragraph begins with the Topic Sentence (the “Top Bun”), which states the main idea. This is followed by three “Juicy Details” (the meat and toppings), which are specific facts or examples that support the main idea. Finally, the paragraph concludes with the Concluding Sentence (the “Bottom Bun”), which wraps up the paragraph clearly. The example provided uses the prompt “the importance of recycling”.
