About this worksheet
The beginning and the ending of an essay do special work: the introduction catches the reader's attention with a hook and says what the essay is about, and the conclusion wraps up the idea and leaves the reader with something to think about. On this fifth grade sheet a child gets one essay topic and writes a hook, an opening sentence and a closing sentence in labeled spaces. Each version has a different topic, and the grown-up checks that the opening names the topic and the closing matches it.
What your child will learn
- Write a hook that grabs attention
- State what the essay is about
- Write a closing sentence
- Make the ending match the beginning
Common Core standard: W.5.1.A
Worked example
Hook: What if every child walked to school? Opening: Walking to school is good for our health and our town. Closing: That is why more students should walk to school.
Common mistake
Writing a closing that adds a brand new idea instead of wrapping up the main one.
Helpful hint
Start with a question or surprising fact, say your main idea, and finish by repeating it in new words.
