Today’s Agenda:

Learning about paragraphs View the PowerPoint and take notes. PowerPoint? paragraph fishtank.ppt 4. Write a paragraph -- in your composition book under Notes and QuickWrites. Label it "My Fall Break." This is a brief informational (and personal) piece. It is fairly informal, so you can use the personal pronouns I, me, my, and mine. Either My fall break this year was a wonderful (or invigorating or exciting or . . . ) experience. (or) My fall break this year was a ho-hum sort of experience. [You may adjust the wording of your topic sentence to fit your own experience.] Example: My fall break this year was a wonderful experience for at least three reasons. First, I enjoyed being with my grandchildren, holding a smiling, laughing baby, watching the toddlers play at the Museum of Curiosity, and visiting with the older children about their school activities and watching with them their new favorite YouTube videos. I also got to attend an event I wouldn't have been able to go to on a school day: The Parliament of World Religions which was held in Salt Lake City. Finally, I actually got some work done around my home, including organizing a closet and beginning to get my yard ready for winter. All in all it was a great long weekend. Write your own. 5. Peer check. |
