LANGUAGE ARTS  - Today I am feeling teal.  It's Monday and I am ready to start this week.  Bring it on!  **Remember to send me an email telling me what color you are feeling today and why.

       **Be Sure you have shared your summary of Earth Dragon Awakes from last week.

Today you are going to write an opinion paragraph about the question below.

Use this graphic organizer to help you organize your thoughts and ideas.

                                            

Would you want to travel to Antarctica and stay for a few months? Why or why not?

1) Give an opinion statement as your opening/topic sentence. (Like you did for your assingment on Friday)

        Example: Dogs are the best pets because they are entertaining, provide companionship, and can help you stay healthy.

2) Add 3 reasons to support your opinion and one example for each reason as your detail sentences.

Example for the first reason: My dog is keeps me entertained while we are eating dinner.  He goes and gets all his toys, one at a time, and brings them to the table.  It is like he is asking us to please play.  He is probably bored because we are all busy eating.

3) Include closing/conclusion sentence that restates your opinion.

Example:  While some people may not agree because they think dogs are scary, dogs are amazingly friendly and entertaining companions.   

              *Try not to end your paragraph with “that is why or this is why”!!
