Cause-Effect Paragraphs
Dear Students,
In class, we have been studying a new type of paragraph: Cause-Effects Paragraphs. You did a good job writing your paragraphs and explaining different causes and effects of a problem.
Now, I want you to analyze the possible effects of this situation: Some students are really pressed to do their best at school, mainly to get excellent grades and, if possible, to be the best of their classes.

Disconnecting from Technology
Hey guys! I just found a nice video someone you know might desperately need
to watch. Although technology has helped us in several ways, it has
also affected our lives negatively. What
do you think of it? Have you ever met someone addicted to technological
devices? Are you one of them? What have you done or are you doing to
help them or yourself overcome this problem?
Is any of the advice provided in the video helpful? What other advice
would you include? Share your
experience! Looking forward to reading your comments, JMC

5. Brat shoudl have gone away without saying anything when he found out the truth about Simon.

Experience Paragraph
We've already learnt a new way of supporting: through an experience paragraph! Now, this is what I want you to do. Here's a small list of brief writing prompts; not full-blown topics, just hints and clues to get you started. Take a minute to look over the list. Then pick one prompt that brings to mind a particular image, experience, or idea. And that's it! Start writing your paragraph. Don't forget to respect the basic parts of a paragraph and support with experiences. JMC.
- Everyone else was laughing
- Late again
- What I've always wanted
- A sound I'd never heard before
- What if ...
- The last time I saw him
- At that moment I should have left
- Keeping a secret
- Waking up in a strange room
- All I have left is this photo

Pets
Hi
guys! After learning how to write an example paragraph, I want you to
use specific examples to examine the following subject: the value of pets.
What aspect of pets is your paragraph going to cover? That will be
defined by your topic sentence. Don't forget to respect the features
of a paragraph! JMC
