WRITING:

Weekly prompt:  In an essay to share with your classmates, write about 2 major changes to your life that have happened recently. 

Start with an outline!  REMEMBER:  A paragraph should have 3 or *MORE* sentences.  Try to avoid repeating words, phrases.  Then turn your outline into a rough draft.  Check it for errors yourself and then have someone else check and revise your work.  Rewrite using your nicest handwriting.

 Your essay should have:

• 4 paragraphs (introduction, 2 body paragraphs (one for each major change), and a conclusion)
• An introduction that includes an attention getter, topic sentence, and a sentence to state your star ideas.
• 2 body paragraphs.  Each star should be a major change and should use a transition.  The reds should elaborate, provide more evidence and explanation.  
• A conclusion that begins with a transition.  It should restate your topic sentence in a different way.  It should close your essay for your reader.
