In this module, you will think of ideas, organize the ideas, and write a paragraph.  

A paragraph is formed with five (5) or more sentences.  A paragraph has one (1) main idea.  Then, it has sentences that explain the idea.  These sentences are called supporting details.  To finish the paragraph, there is a conclusion.

Example:

     I am a student in Project I-DEA.  My name is Maria.  I am from Mexico.  I'm studying English.  I want to be a nurse.  Project I-DEA will help me learn English to become a nurse.
