Sample paragraph with a closing sentence
Hi. I am John, I am from Argentina, and I am 17 years old. The name of my school is San Diego International school, and I like it very much. I take several subjects in my school, but I don't feel the same way about every subject. First, I love science and math because they are very interesting and challenging. Second, I like art and physical education because they are fun and easy. Third, geography and history are more difficult because they are to complex. So, I don't like them that much. Finally, my literature class is boring, and the teacher has no spark. That is why I hate that class. You might say that everyone has subjects that they prefer and subjects that they are not interested in taking because we are all different.
Once you are done with your paragraph, let your partner revise it. when you are revising the paragraph look for the following:

See how the closing sentence brings the main idea of the paragraph into one final sentence.

Sample paragraph with a closing sentence
Hi. I am John, I am from Argentina, and I am 17 years old. The name of my school is San Diego International school, and I like it very much. I take several subjects in my school, but I don't feel the same way about every subject. First, I love science and math because they are very interesting and challenging. Second, I like art and physical education because they are fun and easy. Third, geography and history are more difficult because they are to complex. So, I don't like them that much. Finally, my literature class is boring, and the teacher has no spark. That is why I hate that class. You might say that everyone has subjects that they prefer and subjects that they are not interested in taking because we are all different.
Once you are done with your paragraph, let your partner revise it. when you are revising the paragraph look for the following:
a) Complete content and requirements
b) Effective closing sentence
