Journal #2 (21/08/15)

The day started very good because arrive early to class, when I went to school, I thought that went out earlier today, which we were not going to give recess, so buy an orange juice that I could not have breakfast in the morning.
We started seeing the last topic for the test of Tuesday, the topic was: Topic Sentence; is the most important sentence of a paragraph, it states the main idea and introduces the reader to the topic.
We worked with the same people, so I work with Ana. The first activity was read texts and identify the topic sentence, next was, read more and writing a topic sentence for each paragraph.
Next, we read about that what is Supporting Sentences, and the definition is: supporting sentences develop the main idea in the topic sentence. They add details to the topic. Following that, we read several texts and recognizing supporting sentences.
Next, we read about that what Irrelevant Sentences, and the definition is: every supporting sentence in a paragraph must relate to the main idea stated in the topic sentence. A sentence that does not support the main idea does not belong in the paragraph, thus such a sentence should be omitted, when a sentence does not belong in a paragraph, it is called an irrelevant sentence. Following that, we read several texts and recognizing irrelevant sentences.
Next, we read about that what is concluding sentences, and the definition is: this sentences states the main idea of the paragraph again using different words, it summarizes the main points of the paragraph, or makes a final comment on the topic. Following that, we read several texts and writing concluding sentences.
Next we read about “reading comprehension guidelines” and we work in a big practice, but we leave early.
What I liked the most is the topic, because is easy but I felt tired because It is tedious to read much.
