Question

What is a 1 2 3 2 3 2 3 1 paragraph?

Answer 1

Here's my guess:

1 = level one sentence (main topic)
2 = level two sentence, in direct support of the level 1 sentence
3 = level three sentence, in support of the level 2 sentence above it.

Hold on and I'll find you some examples.

Answer 2

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. If that is the only directive given, I'd ask the teacher to specify! The student should not have to "guess" as to what is required.

Answer 3

Level 1 sentence = thesis/topic/main idea
Level 2 = CD sentences
Level 3 = CM sentences

Please repost if you have more questions.

Here's another -- it'll need to be downloaded, but it's worth it:

SraJMcGin is right. Your student shouldn't have to guess. This should have been clearly explained by the teacher.
