Writing

This paragraph should have the events that lead to your problem. These are your rising actions. Remember, they must be in sequential order. That means they need to be in an order based on what happens first. In our story, "Scared in the Storm," Sam saw the sky become dark. Then, the wind began to blow, and dirt flew into his face. The author is slowly building events to show us how Sam is afraid of thunderstorms. We need to know the wind was blowing so that we understand why dirt was blowing in his face.

Our writing this week is to be in sequential order. Use transition words to help keep your writing organized. Look at examples of transition words below.

Write about how the character(s) solved the problem. What is the solution? What steps did they take to come to this solution?

Remember to include a topic sentence, detail sentences, and a concluding sentence in each paragraph. This will help keep your ideas focused. It will also allow the story to flow for the reader.
