(Hannah and I are switching today because she is unable to
post)
Today, we did our paragraph booklets. The section of the
booklet we did today was about Descriptive and Expository Paragraphs.
Descriptive Paragraphs are paragraphs that describe items, places, events, etc.
To write a descriptive paragraph, you must have a lot of detail in it. Expository
Paragraphs are paragraphs that explain. The paragraph is educating you about
something, and the information is usually very specific.
Learning Intentions:
Writing paragraphs can help us in future essays, assignments,
and reports. By learning how to write proper paragraphs, we can start to do
better essays, because paragraph writing is a basic writing structure.
Connections:
We can connect to this outside Humanities because we can
use paragraphs literally everywhere: in essays, resumes, novels, etc.
Homework:
Do an outline and a draft for the descriptive & expository
paragraphs.
Tips:
Try to visualize what scene you’re describing for the
descriptive paragraph; visualizing will help you add more detail! You can also
draw it out.
For expository paragraphs, try writing about something you
are familiar with.
Here is a reminder from Ms. Lees:
