Learning Log Dec. 16, 2014 Thursday

(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:
