✍️ Explorers: The Power Paragraph
A fully interactive A2.2 Kids writing-craft lesson from the Writing Studio unit of the Explorer Club Master Level. Children learn the hamburger-paragraph shape as a four-layer craft toolkit — the top bun is the topic line (main idea first), two fillings are the details (more information, joined with 'Also,'), and the bottom bun is the feeling line (how you feel, with 'because'). Four warm-up questions activate the theme; three craft boxes present the burger shape with formula chips, sentence starters, a joining-words panel and a build-the-layers example table. Ten key words (paragraph, topic line, detail, feeling line, main idea, also, because, example, indent, describe) appear in a scrollable table and six review flashcards. The reading is an illustrated Craft File set in the 'Paragraph Kitchen', where Coach shows the burger picture and Mia and Leo build model paragraphs about a favourite book and football, with key vocabulary highlighted on hover. Practice includes 8 single-word fill-in-the-blank items with live green/red validation, hints and a running score; a speaking section with five prompts for building a paragraph aloud and a model five-line dialogue; a guided 30–50 word writing task asking for a best-friend power paragraph with a four-point burger checklist and a live auto-saving word counter; and an 8-question multiple-choice quiz with a progress bar, per-question explanations, a conic-gradient result circle with tiered feedback, and localStorage persistence.
