PARAGRAPH WRITING...It's as simple as....
From as early as grade one, our teachers have asked us to talk about ourselves or even a fun vacation, and we have always had fun doing it. Other times we have been asked to write these things down. We have actually been writing paragraphs.Can you believe that????? In fact, if we really think about it and wish to be precise, so to speak, we can say that we converse in paragraphs. Let us explore this concept...
After a long day at school, you go home and hop on your BB to tell your friends about the crazy new English Teacher who tells you that we all speak in paragraphs and then you tell them you do not think you will enjoy this class. They ask you why not and you tell them that the first thing she did was read you a long list of rules for her class. Then she yells at two students for coming late and to top it off, she gives you two chapters from your literature book to read in one night. What do you think you have just done? You have told your friends about a part of your day. There, you did it...a pargraph... Well let us see.
FIRST
You identified your subject, the English teacher
SECOND
You presented your topic sentence, Crazy English teacher and bad times ahead.
THIRD
You gave supporting details, reasons you believe there will be bad times ahead in this class.
There you have it, you have just written a paragraph!!!!!!!
