Today we went over Chapter 5:Writing the Paragraph and Chapter 6: Writing the Essay. We learned the basic paragraph patterns. The only difference between Pattern A & B is that Pattern B has a concluding sentence. You can approach both the developmental paragraph and the essay in the same manner- by working through the three stages of the writing process. The developmental paragraph is a group of sentences, each with function of supporting a controlling idea called the topic sentence. The essay is a group of paragraphs, each with the function of supporting a controlling idea called the thesis. I learned pretty much today!

See you all on Wednesday, Good Luck on the test! =)

  1. At first I did not know there was such thing as pattern A or B in writing. Now we all get to use different endings to concluding our essay! Good luck!
