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

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.

Level 1 sentence = thesis/topic/main idea
Level 2 = CD sentences
Level 3 = CM sentences
Please repost if you have more questions.

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

A 1 2 3 2 3 2 3 1 paragraph is a specific pattern of organizing a paragraph where the number sequence represents the structure of the content. Each number corresponds to a specific type of sentence or information. Here's how to understand and create a 1 2 3 2 3 2 3 1 paragraph:
1. The number "1" refers to the opening sentence or the topic sentence. It introduces the main idea or topic of the paragraph in a clear and concise manner. It sets the tone and provides a preview of what will be discussed.
2. The number "2" represents supporting sentences or ideas that elaborate on the main idea. These sentences provide additional information, explanations, examples, or evidence to support the topic sentence. Typically, there are multiple "2" sentences following the "1" sentence.
3. The number "3" indicates sentences that offer further explanation, analysis, or provide specific details. These sentences add depth to the supporting ideas presented in the "2" sentences. Similar to the "2" sentences, there can be multiple "3" sentences within the paragraph.
Finally, the paragraph ends with another "1" sentence, which restates the main idea or topic sentence in a slightly different way. This reinforces the main point and provides closure to the paragraph.
To write a 1 2 3 2 3 2 3 1 paragraph, you need to first develop a clear main idea or topic sentence. Then, identify supporting points or ideas to expand upon. For each supporting point, you can generate additional details or analysis to include as "3" sentences. Remember to arrange the sentences in a logical flow, starting with the topic sentence, followed by supporting ideas, and closing with a restatement of the main idea.
