Best Paragraph

Today we are spending thirty minutes writing our Best Paragraph. In fifth grade, only the best paragraphs are pre-planned, have topic sentences that are indented, have one main idea, details that support the main idea, and have a conclusion. In our classroom we are practicing revising our lead to pull the reader in, changing our verbs to be more active/specific and examining our conclusion to make sure that it restates the main idea or topic of our paragraph. WILL I SEE THE EVIDENCE!? I hope so! I can't wait to read what our class of fantastic fifth graders can do!
