  1. Scrambled Paragraphs They’re GREAT (Not Frosted Flakes great… just great.) By: Eme Ndukwe

  2. Scrambled Paragraphs… huh? • If you look at a scrambled paragraph and don’t 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.

  3. 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…

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. Step 3 When you complete the paragraph, read it all as one paragraph… to yourself. If it sounds like it makes sense, then it’s probably right. If a sentence doesn’t sound right, change it so it can make sense.

  7. LET’S TRY ONE TOGETHER!!! A group of turtles is called a bale. _____ (Q) Turtles have been alive for more than 200 million years. _____ (R) They have been alive longer than mammals, birds, crocodiles, snakes and lizards. _____ (S) In the Hawaiian the word “honu” means sea turtles and represents long life. _____ (T) Historically, turtles have been the symbols of patience and wisdom. _____ (U) The earliest turtles had teeth and they could not pull their heads into their shells, but other than that they were very similar to the turtles that are alive today.
