We are going to practice writing paragraphs today. We have learned four different text structures, Description, Definition, Illustration, Compare and Contrast. In class, you are going to choose one of these text structures and write me a paragraph on the topic of Good and/or Bad Books. Your main idea will be based on which text structure you decide to write in.
You will be graded on the strength of your topic sentence and how well you use the text structure (including how well you utilize the necessary transitional phrases). You should also be mindful of your grammar. We've discussed fragments and run-on sentences. Be sure your paragraph is free of these errors. Any sentence fragments and run-ons will cause you to lose points.
Homework
- Pick one of the four text structures that you did not write about in class and write another paragraph. Your topic is still Good and/or Bad Books.
