Summary

Want students to understand how a paragraph fits together? Explode one and make them reassemble it using the clues in each sentence! I even wrote a little app to bust a paragraph up for you.

  1. Students learn about the big idea "Paragraphs are systems of sentences." They attempt to reorder sentences from The Wizard of Oz.
  2. Students will reorder sentences about Roman Bridges.
  3. Students look for patterns for how to reorder sentences in their clues.
  4. Students create their own mixed-up sentences, building on the patterns they found in steps 1-3. They can use [Paragraphy](https://byrdseed.com/paragraphy) to shuffle their sentences.
