This week, you are getting a chance to further establish what we learned over the last couple of weeks—pulling information from several sources to create one paragraph of your own!
You were given new mini books in class, but if you were absent, you can print them off at:
Elephant Mini Books
Remember that the process is:
- Underline 2-4 repeating/reflecting words from each paragraph's topic and clincher sentences.
- From those words, decide on a topic for each paragraph, and label it right above it.
- Make a column for each article and list each of the article's topics.
- Choose a topic that repeats itself in at least three different sources.
- Write a paragraph using information from those paragraphs, using the following outline:
- Topic Sentence
- Fact 1
- Fact 2
- Fact 3
- Fact 4
- Fact 5
- Clincher (concluding) sentence
You should complete EVERY step of the list, but you will only be turning in ONE typed paragraph next week.
Your paragraph should still have all 6 dress-ups we've gone over:
- Because Clause
- Who/Which Clause
- Adverbial Clause WWWASIA
- Adverb
- Strong Verb
- Imagery
