Scrambled Paragraphs huh?

• If you look at a scrambled paragraph and dont
  know what to do, do not be alarmed. I am here to
  save the day. Scrambled paragraphs are very easy
  actually if you know the steps to completing one.

4
Steps to completing a scrambled paragraph.

• Look for transition words. Some transition words
  are
• Therefore For example Nevertheless
• First Next Then Last Finally After
• and many more

5
Step 2

• Realize which transition word to use.
• For example.
• Ms. Schmidt says we have homework
• Next, she explains what to do for homework
• What comes next???
• A.) Finally, she hands out the homework.
• B.) Next, the kids go home. or
• C.) Therefore, we have a party.

6
The answer is

• The answer is A.
• B is not correct because two of the same
  transition words are RARELY ever going to be back
  to back.
• C is incorrect because the ending part of the
  sentence is irrelevant.

7
Step 3

• When you complete the paragraph, read it all as
  one paragraph to yourself. If it sounds like it
  makes sense, then its probably right. If a
  sentence doesnt sound right, change it so it can
  make sense.
