Today we talked about what makes a paragraph! Our definition is that a paragraph is a group of sentences (usually between 5 and 7) about one topic. We talked about changing paragraphs when we changed topics or when the speaker changes. To practice we each wrote a paragraph about our morning! The fun part is it could be an honest account of the morning or we had the opportunity to fictionalize it. Also, we had to use imagery to make the reader feel what kind of morning it was. We couldn’t say, “I had a sad morning.” We had to find a way to show the reader that our morning was sad. I love the writing I received! Here are some excellent paragraphs…
