Fascinating Fact:

Questions can organise a paragraph. Ask a guiding question, then answer it with evidence in the next three sentences.

In KS3 English, you learn to use questions to structure ideas. A clear guiding question can act like a signpost, helping you plan a topic sentence, add evidence, and summarise your point.

Key Terms

Guiding question: A question that sets the focus for a paragraph or section.
Topic sentence: The first sentence that tells the reader what the paragraph is about.
Evidence: Quotations, facts, or examples that support the answer you give.

Frequently Asked Questions (Click to see answers)

Should I start a paragraph with a question in KS3 English?

Yes, if it helps focus the paragraph. Ask a clear question, then answer it with a topic sentence, supporting evidence, and a short conclusion.

What is a rhetorical question and when should I use one?

A rhetorical question is asked to make a point, not to get an answer. Use it sparingly to engage the reader or introduce a key idea.

How do I turn a question into a strong topic sentence?

Rewrite the question as a statement that answers it. For example, Why is recycling important becomes Recycling reduces waste and saves resources.
