We spent the first part of today's class discussing the components of successful topic and concluding sentences. We agreed that it isn't enough to mention the topic to be discussed, but that we should also incorporate some sort of focus or direction for the paragraph. We created sample topic and concluding sentences and added them to our outlines.
Then, Ms. Barsky read another chunk from the book. Things are getting CRAZY GOOD!
Finally, students were asked to write an expository paragraph, using the outline as a guide. This paragraph should be completed for the beginning of next class.
