We're plugging along on the Atmosphere, Weather and Climate Summative Assessment. Over the weekend students should finish up their Question 1 rough draft. If you want to jump the gun you can work on researching for question 2 (the gold paper). What should your paragraph look like?
1. Start with an "attention driver" or "hook".
2. Then write a topic or thesis statement (A very general answer to the question itself).
3. Details, Details! Now use your research on your purple paper to write the body of your paragraph.
4. Wrap it up! with a concluding sentence.
