We have a lot to say.....
Now we're learning how to organize our thoughts and words into paragraphs. We're using the traffic light method.
We started by creating class paragraphs. Different students contributed each part. They held colored circles representing their part. It was easy to physically move them if the class felt the paragraph needed revising.
Next we wrote our own paragraphs.
We're working on varying sentence beginnings. Soon, I'll introduce transition words and phrases such as "however, since, because of this." Use of those will help the detail sentences flow.
Stay tuned for my next post about our awesome project on main idea and details. Your kids are VERY talented.
