Hooray, It's Friday! And Paragraphs! September 12, 2014

Today I got the first chance to see your writing skills on display, with last night's homework assignment to write a paragraph about the early colonies.  There has been some "discussion" (by which I mean disagreement) about how long a paragraph should be … by this point, the target should be at least five full sentences.  This means a topic sentence, several supporting sentences, and a conclusion.  If you got your paragraph back with the request to "Revise" listed on it, you need to rewrite your paragraph to make it more complete.

HOMEWORK:  You only need to rewrite your paragraph if instructed.  We are moving on from the early colonies on Monday!
