ParagraphAssignment

Question: How can our lives be better with less?  



Paragraph answer pls.


Required - Full sentences/5 min sentences.  


Students - Think about what stood out to you from the Ted Talk.



E.g. What


are the benefits of downsizing or having less STUFF in your


life? These can be points for some of your middle sentences in


your paragraph.



NOTES: Students - Please take on the grammar updates that I have recently

provided you via Teams > re: our prior Assignments.



E.g.


1. Restate the paragraph question in your opening (in your


own words)


2. Have your 2-3 sentences/ideas/reasons (life is better with less) in the middle of your paragraph.


3. Provide your closing statement - usually a restate again of the


paragraph question with your summative


thoughts at the end.


If you do not have lined paper there is some at the front of the


room for you on the shelves in a cardboard box OR borrow from


a friend.


Extra pencils can be signed out from the teacher (put your name


under the star on the board).


Tiny 'lend' pencils available in the yogurt container on the


teacher's desk.


STUDENTS - EDIT YOUR WORK BEFORE handing it in!


ONLY hand in your best work to the


TTOC before end of class. I will be meeting with you individually


to review your work and provide you with a mark for this assignment later on this week.
