I have been instructed to teach fifth grade (Special Ed) students to write a 5 paragraph essay. Paragraph one is the intro and paragraph 5 is the conclusion. (I'm sure you know...) Next week we will start a persuasive essay. That might be fun.<br /><br />Because I have a hard time staying in the box, we did come up with some good introductions. I told the kids it was important to hook the reader right away.Sharon Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538835090062707610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-41229622033281945582010-11-05T06:20:09.300-07:002010-11-05T06:20:09.300-07:00It makes me so happy to know that kids this age ar...It makes me so happy to know that kids this age are doing such great writing! I wanted to share this with you... Caroline's 8th grade English teacher will NOT let them use the word "got" in their writing! He marks it off when they do. I wonder if you see that a lot in your students' work? I'm not sure if I agree with it or not, but then, I'm not an English teacher!Bethanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02529749426074359749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-51511413008013777122010-11-04T21:39:29.046-07:002010-11-04T21:39:29.046-07:00Wow. .I am amazed at how well these students wrote...Wow. .I am amazed at how well these students wrote. I have thought more than once recently how much I would benefit from some writing classes.

Writing an essay is not the same as writing a story. Make sure your kids understand that, ok?<br /><br />Love your tips and will try to use them in my next piece!roxiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14916948065233137971noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17794657.post-82706895514493100862010-11-04T06:05:01.701-07:002010-11-04T06:05:01.701-07:00English and writing were always my favorite subjec...English and writing were always my favorite subjects in school.
