Historica Lesson - How to write a paragraph.

For Historica we have a graphic organizer.  We used it to make our topic easier to sort out.  We put the main topic in the middle, and we wrote out 4 sub-topics.  With each sub-topic we put, in point form, a few important details.  

Today we talked about how to turn our point form details into a paragraph.  A paragraph has an introduction sentence.  It has some detail sentences, and a conclusion sentence.  A good conclusion sentence can say what we think or feel (about the topic).

We learned about Tim Horton and made a paragraph as a class.
