Students learn how sentences work together as a system form a paragraph. They'll try to re-order mixed-up paragraphs and then try their hand and writing a mixed-up paragraph that their peers can untangle.
Steps
- Students learn about the big idea "Paragraphs are systems of sentences." They attempt to reorder sentences from The Wizard of Oz.
- Students will reorder sentences about Roman Bridges.
- Students look for patterns for how to reorder sentences in their clues.
- Students create their own mixed-up sentences, building on the patterns they found in steps 1-3. They can use Paragraphy to shuffle their sentences.
