Practice Writing a Paragraph

In my training last week we did a “getting to know you activity” that we could use in our classrooms. We were to select five questions from a list of twenty to ask our partner, and write a paragraph using the information we learned. I asked Leann the following five questions:
Which member of your family do you like the most? Why?
Where would you like to travel?
If you were a fruit or a vegetable, what would you be? Why?
What is your favorite TV program or movie? Why?
What is the most embarrassing thing that ever happened to you?

I quickly wrote the following paragraph:

Topic Sentence:
Leann is crazy, fun, hung-over, and occasionally exposes herself in public.

Part of her fun is demonstrated by her travels with her favorite family member, Jeffrey. They’ve taken two trips covering the continent of Europe. Because of too much drinking last night she now describes herself using the metaphor of a mango. She has little basis for this decision except that mangos are tropical like her sparkling personality. Her favorite T.V. show is “Weeds” because of the captivating drama, and she too aspires to one day become a drug-dealing mother of three.

Concluding Sentence:
In conclusion, no matter what kind of fruit you think she is, she’s still a lot of fun, even the bartender at Fanny Ann’s would agree.

I read it to Leann, she nodded and said, “That sounds about right.”
