Alphabet Paragraph

Use the alphabet to help you collect ideas and thoughts about a subject you choose to write about.

First, choose a subject. Then, for each letter in the alphabet, think of a word, phrase, or sentence that begins with that letter and describes the subject. For example, let's say your subject is "school." An "A" word describing school might be "agreeable." An "A" phrase might be "always challenging." An "A" sentence might be "Art is a fun class."

A "B" sentence might be "B was my grade in history." Or you might write a "B" phrase describing the location of the school "behind the shopping center."

Below is an example. Remember you may use a word, a phrase, or a sentence for each letter.


Topic: School

A greeable
B was my grade in history
C auses me to think
D ips into my free time
E very day from Monday through Friday
F amous for the mighty Trojan basketball team
G rabs me
H ate to leave at 3:30
I ntelligent people
J okes with my teachers
K ites in the parking lot
L unch time
M akes me smart
