How to Write a Paragraph

I. Review

Main Idea: The main idea of this text is underlined with wavy lines.
Details: The details that support the main idea are underlined.
Examples: Examples that expand upon key details are circled.

Sea Stars
Although sea stars are commonly called, “starfish,” they are
not actually fish. Sea stars are echinoderms. Other echinoderms
include sand dollars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers. Unlike fish,
sea stars have arms. Most sea stars have only five arms and are in
the shape of a five-pointed star. Fish swim through the water,
whereas sea stars move by using tiny tube feet. These tube feet,
located on the underside of their bodies, also help sea stars
hold their prey. Sea stars and fish both live

underwater, but that is where their


similarities end.
