What we did today:

Today in humanities we focused on catch up and had some people who had finished all of there work to sit next to someone who didn’t and could had used a bit of help getting it done. We had to have a narrative draft paragraph done our heart map done which is a map describing points about our memory’s, we also had to do a descriptive paragraph which was assignment two and to choose a topic to add detailed sentences too for exercise one. What everyone who was done all of these assignments had to write out and outline for our explanatory paragraph and a draft.

Explanatory Paragraph- gives information, express one idea in detail, must be accurate detailed specific and organized in the right sequence

Narrative Paragraph- tells a series of related events in a story

Descriptive Paragraph- paints a picture; the purpose is to give the reader specific details to describe a particular person or place or thing

Learning Intention:

We worked on catching up on all of our paragraphs this is because we can have them all done for when we review them so we can understand what we need to change before we do another one of the same type. And we are learning about all of these different types of paragraphs because these are the main paragraphs most of us will be using. Using the outlines gives us an idea if we have everything connected well before we start so that we do not have to change the whole paragraph when its too late and have handed them in. You could check the outline with Mrs. Lees just to make sure you have the right idea and if there was anything more you would need to include.

Marvy

I understand how to make a descriptive paragraph with descriptive words such as colors sent touch taste and what you hear like for example “The blue rusted engine sounded like the burning of old worn rubber on the old gravel road” or for taste “I could taste the filth of the old fur coat rubbing slightly against my face”

Connections beyond English:

With knowing how to do a proper paragraph you can excel in life quickly. You can use paragraph writing in so many different ways such as racemes showing them your information and adding on a piece of your well written information. You can also by correcting these paragraphs and using outlines to lets say for example when planning a new bedroom for your brother you would want to make a plan before you start. And have it approved by someone who may know a bit more about building and decorating. You would want to do this so you can change something before you start that you may have glanced over and missed but may had wrecked the whole room. Like your measurements were wrong on the closet size since it will cut off the size of the bathroom. And then not have room for the brand new toilet.

Tips:

1.Check out Mrs. Lees blog today to find out the details about the geography test

2. There is words on the very back of the last page in the paragraph booklet saying words that will help you connect time order, place order and relationship between ideas

3. Look up some words in your thesaurus and change a few around to make your paragraphs bit more interesting and adventurous

4. If you like to type out your drafts and edit them that way go to word and in review click track changes and you will then be able to know what you have changed and use it as a draft before you do a good copy
