Common Mistakes to Watch For

• Mixing up facts and opinions when writing informational paragraphs. Words like best, prettiest, and favorite are opinion words and do not belong in informational writing.
• Forgetting the topic sentence so the reader does not know what the paragraph will teach. Always start with one clear sentence that names the topic.
• Turning the paragraph into a story by adding made-up characters or events. Informational writing only shares real, true information about the topic.
