What is a hamburger paragraph?
A hamburger paragraph is a writing graphic organizer that uses the layers of a hamburger to map out the parts of a strong paragraph. The top bun is the topic sentence that introduces the idea. The fillings in the middle, often shown as lettuce, tomato, patty, and cheese, are the supporting details and examples that give the paragraph substance. The bottom bun is the concluding sentence that wraps everything up. Just like a burger needs both buns to hold the fillings together, a paragraph needs a clear opening and closing to hold its details together. Figviz turns any writing topic into a finished hamburger organizer in seconds, so students can plan before they write.

Blank templates versus labeled examples
Figviz can make two kinds of hamburger paragraph organizers. A blank template shows the empty stacked layers with labels and writing lines, ready for students to fill in by hand or annotate digitally. These are perfect for independent practice, writing centers, or homework. A labeled or completed example fills each layer with model text so students can see exactly how a topic sentence, supporting details, and a conclusion fit together. Many teachers project a completed burger during a mini lesson, then hand out blank templates for students to try on their own. To switch between the two, just describe what you want in the prompt, for example "a blank hamburger template" or "a completed hamburger paragraph about recycling."
Classroom uses for the hamburger paragraph
The hamburger paragraph is a favorite in elementary and middle school ELA classrooms because it makes an abstract writing structure concrete and memorable. Use it to introduce paragraph writing, to scaffold opinion and informative pieces, and to support striving or multilingual writers who benefit from a clear visual frame. It works for narrative reflections, book responses, science explanations, and short answer test prep. Print copies for small groups, project one burger for a whole-class write-along, or assign the digital PNG through your learning management system so students can plan their paragraphs from home. Pair it with a checklist so students confirm every layer is in place before they write their final draft.
