You have written 5 different types of paragraphs over the last 7 weeks. For the midterm exam, you must choose 2 prompts from the 5 below and write a paragraph for each. In your exam book you need to show your planning, a first draft, and a revised and edited final draft.
I will be grading based on whether you demonstrate a knowledge of the structure and conventions of the paragraph indicated. For example if you choose the extended definition prompt, do you define the word for your reader and provide examples of how this word means what you say it does. If you choose a procedural paragraph, do you introduce the topic and provide sequential steps with transition words. I will also be grading on content, grammar, and evidence of planning, drafting, revising, and editing. You will have three hours to write, revise and edit each paragraph.
Any paragraph that show evidence of plagiarism (such as copying and pasting from the internet) will receive a zero.
Please choose from the two prompts below:
