GROUP ASSIGNMENT ON PARGRAPH WRITING
ACTIVITY THREE (3)
Activity three will be focusing on the four different types of paragraph that was derived;
expository paragraph, descriptive paragraph, narrative paragraph and persuasive paragraph.
Identifying their parts (topic, support, and clincher (closing sentence) and qualities;
(coherence, unity and elaboration). Then the paragraphs will be identified which are
particularly weak or strong with an explanation as to why.
1) Expository paragraph
Topic sentence: On July 16, 1969, the Apollo 11 spacecraft launched from the Kennedy
Space Centre in Florida. Its mission was to go where no human being had gone before—the
moon!
Supporting sentence: The crew consisted of Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz
Aldrin. The spacecraft landed on the moon in the Sea of Tranquillity, a basaltic flood plain,
on July 20, 1969. The moonwalk took place the following day. On July 21, 1969, at precisely
10:56 EDT, Commander Neil Armstrong emerged from the Lunar Module and took his
famous first step onto the moon’s surface.
Closing sentence: He declared, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.”
It was a monumental moment in human history!"
Coherence (Chronological order) The crew consisted of Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins,
and Buzz Aldrin. The spacecraft landed on the moon in the Sea of Tranquillity, a basaltic
flood plain, on July 20, 1969. The moonwalk took place the following day. On July 21, 1969,
at precisely 10:56 EDT, Commander Neil Armstrong emerged from the Lunar Module and
took his famous first step onto the moon’s surface.
Unity: The crew consisted of Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin. The
spacecraft landed on the moon in the Sea of Tranquillity, a basaltic flood plain, on July 20,
1969. The moonwalk took place the following day. On July 21, 1969, at precisely 10:56
EDT, Commander Neil Armstrong emerged from the Lunar Module and took his famous first
step onto the moon’s surface. He declared, “That’s one small step for man, one giant leap for
mankind.” It was a monumental moment in human history!
Elaboration: the spacecraft landed on the moon in the Sea of Tranquillity, a basaltic flood
plain, on July 20, 1969. The moonwalk took place the following day. On July 21, 1969, at
precisely 10:56 EDT, Commander Neil Armstrong emerged from the Lunar Module and took
his famous first step onto the moon’s surface. He declared, “That’s one small step for man,
one giant leap for mankind.” It was a monumental moment in human history
2)Descriptive Paragraph:
Topic sentence: Sunset is the time of day when our sky meets the outer space solar winds
Supporting sentence: There are blue, pink, and purple swirls, spinning and twisting, like
clouds of balloons caught in a whirlwind. The sun moves slowly to hide behind the line of
horizon, while the moon races to take its place in prominence atop the night sky. People slow
to a crawl, entranced, fully forgetting the deeds that must still be done.
Closing sentence: There is a coolness, a calmness, when the sun does set.
Coherence: (Logical order) The sun moves slowly to hide behind the line of horizon, while
the moon races to take its place in prominence atop the night sky. People slow to a crawl,
entranced, fully forgetting the deeds that must still be done.
Unity: here are blue, pink, and purple swirls, spinning and twisting, like clouds of balloons
caught in a whirlwind. The sun moves slowly to hide behind the line of horizon, while the
moon races to take its place in prominence atop the night sky. People slow to a crawl,
entranced, fully forgetting the deeds that must still be done.
Elaboration: There are blue, pink, and purple swirls, spinning and twisting, like clouds of
balloons caught in a whirlwind. The sun moves slowly to hide behind the line of horizon,
while the moon races to take its place in prominence atop the night sky. People slow to a
crawl, entranced, fully forgetting the deeds that must still be done. There is a coolness, a
calmness, when the sun does set.
3) Persuasive paragraph:
Topic sentence: The school fair is right around the corner, and tickets have just gone on sale
Supporting sentence: We are selling a limited number of tickets at a discount, so move fast
and get yours while they are still available. This is going to be an event you will not want to
miss! First off, the school fair is a great value when compared with other forms of
entertainment. Also, your ticket purchase will help our school, and when you help the school,
it helps the entire community. But that’s not all! Every ticket you purchase enters you in a
drawing to win fabulous prizes. And don’t forget, you will have mountains of fun because
there are acres and acres of great rides, fun games, and entertaining attractions!
Clincher (closing sentence): Spend time with your family and friends at our school fair. Buy
your tickets now!
