Grade 4 Writing Worksheet
Write an introduction for the report.
Read this first
Report: Giraffes
Giraffes are the tallest animals on land.
They eat leaves from tall trees.
Their tongues are about eighteen inches long.
Report: Amelia Earhart
She was the first woman to fly alone across the Atlantic Ocean.
She made the flight in 1932.
She also wrote books about flying.
An introduction tells the reader what a report is about and makes them want to keep reading. On this fourth grade worksheet your child reads a report title and three facts, then writes a hook that grabs attention and a topic sentence that names the subject. The facts stay out of the opening so there is something left to say in the paragraphs that follow.
Common Core standard: W.4.2.A
For a report called "Why Popcorn Pops," a hook could be "Why does a hard little kernel turn into a fluffy snack?" and the topic sentence "Heat and steam make popcorn pop!"
Starting with "This report is about..." or listing every fact in the opening instead of hooking the reader.
Hook first, then name the topic, and keep the facts for later.
