Classwork and Homework

Today, we first looked at "building block" and "thrown in the deep end" styles of learning,  and then we reviewed topic sentences. Next, we learned about developmental paragraphs as well as paragraphing. In paragraphing, we learned about how to identify and organize different elements of a paragraph. We worked on a paragraphing worksheet that helped us identify the parts, and then went over the correct answers with the key. 

• Paragraphing worksheet
• Paragraphing worksheet key

Here is the PowerPoint that we used today in class. 

Homework: 

1. Read “Support” pg. 23-24 in your textbook.
2. Complete the back ("Practice Exercise") of the yellow paper “Body Paragraph Writing” 

You can start working on Draft 1, but nothing will be due in class tomorrow.
