Weekend Writing

SAMPLE CLASS PARAGRAPH:

 

There are many things that I am excited about seeing at the University of Michigan.  Every Saturday in the fall I watch Michigan football on television with my dad and grandpa.  One place I am excited to see is Michigan Stadium.  Another location I am excited about is the dormitory.  I have heard so much about dorms, and I've always wanted to see one.  This is a great chance for me to finally see a dorm.  A final thing I am excited about is seeing where college students go to class. I am interested in seeing if their classrooms are the same or different than ours.  These are just a few of the many things I am excited about seeing at the University of Michigan.

 

A paragraph is a complete idea, which includes a topic, support, and closing.

NOT JUST ANY 5 SENTENCES!!!!!

 

Prompt: Write a reflection on our visit to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor.  Paragraph 1 should be about your first impressions.  What did you notice?  What surprised you? Etc.  Paragraph 2 should be about your favorite part of the trip.  Paragraph 3 should be about what we could do to make this trip better for the next group of kids.  Don't say nothing.  Be creative and helpful.
