Slide 4
The Coach coordinates and supports all of his players to get
them to the End Zone for a TOUCHDOWN!!!!! So........you have the
Coach, holding the players together, to get to the End Zone to
score a TOUCHDOWN!!!!!
Slide 5
Without the COACH and the END ZONE, how can the team even score
a TOUCHDOWN?
Slide 6
The TOPIC SENTENCES introduces the main idea of each of your
paragraphs. This main idea of the paragraph supports the
CONTROLLING IDEA of what you are writing about. CONTROLLING IDEA:
The Pittsburgh Steelers are the best football team in the NFL. They
have a great Defensive Line. Tomlin is a fantastic Head Coach.
Roethlisberger leads under pressure. Paragraph #1 Paragraph
#2Paragraph #3
Slide 7
A paragraph without a topic sentence is like........ Ben
Roethlisberger without number 7 on his shirt. Coach Mike Tomlin
without his playbook. A Pittsburgh Steelers fan without their
TERRIBLE TOWEL.
Slide 8
The Assistant Coach/Defensive Line, John Mitchell, is
experienced. He has the know-how to make Pittsburghs defense the
famous Steel Curtain. Troy Polamalu is a super strong safety,
because he runs in there on the defensive and gets the job done! If
you want someone to depend on to sack the New York Jets
quarterback, Brett Keisel is the man to do the job right. When it
comes to scoring, Pittsburghs Steel Curtain can get the job done.
What TOPIC SENTENCE would be best to complete this paragraph?
Slide 9
He was hired as the 16 th head coach in Pittsburgh Steelers
history on January 22, 2007. Tomlin became the youngest head coach
in NFL history to both coach and win a Super Bowl when he led the
Pittsburgh Steelers to a 27-23 victory over the Arizona Cardinals
in Super Bowl XLIII. He plans and supports the Pittsburgh Steelers
to lead them on another Super Bowl win! What TOPIC SENTENCE would
be best to complete this paragraph?
Slide 10
A few years back, he was a second string quarterback that was
called upon to help his team out when the first string quarterback
was injured. Even though Roethlisberger is 6 foot, five inches, and
he weighs 241 pounds, his strong arm finds its way to the
appropriate receiver. He has leadership skills on the field that
drive the offensive line all the way into the END ZONE! If no one
is there to receive the football, then Big Ben runs to gain
yardage. Hopefully Ben Roethlisberger will lead his team to a
seventh Super Bowl win! What TOPIC SENTENCE would be best to
complete this paragraph?

Finally, Ben Roethlisberger is a quarterback that knows how to
lead his team. A few years back, he was a second string quarterback

bread on before you can start. Put the two pieces of bread onto the
plate. After spreading the peanut butter on the bread, put the two
pieces of bread together. Cut the sandwich in half with the knife.
