What did we do?

Today in class we worked on our paragraph booklets or if your like me you finished any of the sheets that go with your report card.

Why did we do it? (Learning Intentions)

Well the whole point of our paragraph booklets is number one teach us how to write a proper paragraph, like how a paragraph should be 5-9 sentences. Two is to generally help improve our writing and make it more clear and easy to read. The point of the self-assessment sheets are for you to reflect on how you did in term one. Also on what you learned in term one.

Reflections and Connections

Learning how to write a paragraph is one of the fundamentals of writing. If you learn how to write a paragraph you can move on to more advanced things like writing essays. If you don't know how to write a proper paragraph writing is going to be hard and will probably be bad. In university and in other post-secondary schools if you don't know how to write a paragraph your at a major disadvantage. Even in jobs if you don't know how to write a paragraph for say a report, it's going to be bad. Self assessing is key in order to help recover from say you lost a game. You figure out what you did wrong and don't do it next time.
