[quote=Anonymous]When my kids were in second grade in MCPS, they only had to write one paragraph. They’d be given a topic and a formula for writing the paragraph. The topic might be their favorite trip. The formula would be something like: 1) Introductory sentence that gets reader’s attention and tells them where you went on your favorite trip. 2) Write at least 3 sentences to support the introduction. Give details. Why was it your favorite trip? What did you do? 3. Write a conclusion that mentions your trip. The kids’ paragraphs usually sounded like this: Would you like to hear about my trip to Disneyworld? It was my favorite trip because I had fun. I got to meet Star Wars characters. I went swimming every day and ate ice cream. There were fireworks. I hope you liked learning about my trip to Disneyworld.[/quote]
