What you read today

Paragraph Town, pages 85–85 — the chapter Orderly Paragraphs.

This lesson's text is the book itself. Your teacher has the pages; read them with the class, then do the work on your sheet.

Remember
Read it as a writer: not only what happens, but what the author did to make it happen that way.
Ask yourself: “What does my reader need to know before the next sentence makes sense?”

Remember

Put it in the order the reader needs.
