Original Prompt

Create a new version of this paragraph planning worksheet where all the colored boxes (Topic Sentence, Details 1-3, and Closing Sentence) use deep magenta (#FF0080 or similar) and dark cyan (#008080) instead of the current purple, blue, red, and yellow colors. Use only magenta and cyan colors that will print clearly on a CMY color printer. Keep all the text content, layout, and structure exactly the same.

The 'Paragraph Planner' is a tool designed to help writers organize their thoughts and ideas effectively before composing a paragraph. It features a structured layout with color-coded sections for the Topic Sentence, Supporting Details, and a Closing Sentence. Writers begin by stating the main idea in the Topic Sentence, followed by three supporting details that provide examples or evidence to back up the main idea. Finally, they summarize the paragraph with a Closing Sentence. This planner guides users to create coherent and well-structured paragraphs, exemplifying its use with a sample about the benefits of having dogs as pets.
