Dinosaurs lived for more than 160 million years! So
why did they all die out? Sorne people think an asteroid
hit the Earth and made it too cold for the dinosaurs to
live. Others think there were two huge explosions from
volcanoes. Each explosion spread ash ali over the Earth.

Explanatory Paragraph
In an explanatory paragraph, you can talk about cause and effect or result. When
you talk about a cause, you soy why something happens or happened. When you talk
about an effect or result, you explain what makes or made something happen. You can
use words such as so and because.
• Use so to connect two sentences to show an effect or result. The first sentence
shows the cause for something and the second sentence shows the effect or result.
Use a comma befare so.
People are cutting down bamboo forests. + The giant panda is in trouble. =
People are cutting down bamboo forests, so the giant panda is in trouble.
• Use because to connect two sentences to show why. The first sentence shows
the effect or resu/t and the second sentence shows the cause.
The giant panda is in trouble. + People are cutting down bamboo forests. =
The giant panda is in trouble because people are cutting down bamboo forests.
The Giant Panda Is in Danger

by Carol Barysh
The giant panda, the world's favourite block and white bear with the friendly
face, is endangered for several reasons. One important reason is the panda's
diet. About 99% of the panda's diet is bamboo. This key food is disappearing
because people are cutting down the bamboo forests. A second reason has to
do with its habitat. The wild giant panda lives only in parts of China, so there
isn't enough space for a large panda population. In addition, the panda doesn't
like being around people and their activities. The panda's habitat is getting
smaller because people are moving into the panda's space. Another reason is
the short breeding season. Mole and female pandas mate only from March to
May, so not many baby pandas are born. And even when a mother panda has
two new babies, she usually takes care of only one. For all these reasons, the
giant panda is in danger.
Writing Assignment
Using the following steps, write a paragraph about an extinct or endangered animal.
Be sure to explain why the animal died out or why it is endangered. Remember to use
so and because when you talk about cause and effect.
Brainstorm ideas.
• Think of an extinct animal. Why did it die out?

• Think of an endangered animal. Why is it in trouble?
Use a cause & effect chart.

A cause & effect chart can help you organise your ideas.

Descriptive Paragraph
In a descriptive paragraph, you try to create a clear picture of a person, place, thing
or activity. Details help your reader to "see" or imagine what the person, place, thing or
activity is like. A good description makes the reader feel as if he or she is actually there.
Befare Fire
by Marina Lipska
Before human beings learned to control fire thousands of years ago, life
for a human family was very hard. Usually, a group of people lived together
in a cave. Their basic activities depended on daytime and night-time. During
the doy, they would look for food. Sorne of the women and children looked for
berries and plants to eat. Sorne of the men hunted animals for meat. Before
fire, cave people used to eat their meat raw and bloody, without cooking it.
They had to eat everything quickly, before the meat started to smell. In the
light of doy, sorne of the people made clothes for themselves and for others
from plant material and animal skins. Sorne used stones to make simple
weapons. But at night, without fire, things were different. The people had to
stay in their dark cave to protect themselves from animal attacks and from cold
weather. In the dark, they couldn't make clothes or weapons. They couldn't
hunt. They tried to sleep through the cold, and hoped the sun would rise to
help them to get warm the next doy. Before fire, their lives were very hard.
Writing Assignment
Using the following steps, write a descriptive paragraph about a time in the post.

Paragraph Unity
The topic sentence gives the main idea of your paragraph. Your detail sentences give
facts and examples about the main idea. Your paragraph has unity when al/ of the detail
sentences relate to the main idea. After you write a paragraph, look for sentences that
don't fit with the main idea and take them out.
Sham el Nessim
By Sherif Mustafa
My favourite holiday is called Sharn el Nessirn. The narne rneans "the srnell
of spring" and on this doy Egyptians celebrate the first doy of spring. Spring is
my favourite season . The holiday happens every year on the first Monday after
Easter. On this doy rnany Egyptian farnilies go to parks, zoos or other green,
outdoor spaces to hove picnics and enjoy the fresh air. Fresh air is good far
yet:t. Sorne people take a boat on the River Nile, and enjoy their picnics there.
The traditional foods are Fasiyakh (dried fish), Midamis (beans), green onions,
lettuce and boiled coloured eggs. Not everyone likes these foods. Farnilies
get up early to prepare the food and colour the eggs. They use water colours
and then put the eggs in the sun to dry. In sorne cities there are also dancing
shows and rnusic parades. Mv brother was in a oarade last 'oVeek.
Look at the sentences below. The first sentence is the tapie sentence of a paragraph.
The sentences with numbers are detail sentences. Circle the number of each detail
sentence that does not belong in the paragraph.
To welcome the New Year, Chinese families follow certain traditions.
1. Each family cleans its house from top to bottom.

of long life, wealth and happiness.
3. Many Chinese houses are in the pagoda style.
4. The night befare the New Year begins, families eat a delicious meal of seafood,
dumplings and other foods that symbolise success and prosperity.
5. I don't like seafood, but I like dumplings a lot.
6. The celebration continues with singing and dancing, anda colourful parade with
a big dragan that dances and weaves through the streets.

Descriptive Paragraph: Object
When you describe an object, you use words that help your reader "see" what you are
describing. You can use words that relate to the five senses - sight, sound, toste, smell
and touch. Using these words in your detail sentences builds a picture.
Look at the kinds of words this writer uses. She uses words that refer to four of the five
senses. Which sense is not referred to in her paragraph?
My Favourite Music Box

by Mary Chen
I like each of the twenty music boxes in my collection, but my new favourite
is a hand-carved wooden music box my father gave me. He bought it on a
trip he took to Austria last month. On top of the round base is a tiny, perfect
model of an old-fashioned wooden house. Around the house, there are four
dark green trees with snow on their branches. The house itself has gota tall,
triangle-shaped roof. There is a bumpy chimney made of stone on the roof.
It looks so real you can almost smell the smoke! The front door of the house
has got an arch at the top and is painted red. The four windows hove also got
arches. There are small red-and-green checked curtains at the windows. By the
front door, there is a boy. He is playing with his dog, who is jumping up to catch
a stick. I love winding the box up. Then the scene spins around and the colours
blend together. As the box slows down, you can see all the details. And you can
hear the tune "My Favourite Things" the whole time. This music box is one of
my very favourite things! I really love my music box souvenir from Austria.
Write the words in the correct column . Sorne words cango in more than one column.
bumpy delicious fresh happy hard heavy loud metal

purple rough round salty smooth soft sweet tiny
sight sound toste smell touch

Dancing Is for Everyone

by Jack Williams
In my opinion, people make a big mistake when they say they don't
want to learn to dance. There are several reasons everyone should learn to
appreciate dance. First, there is sorne form of dancing in every culture. Each
country has its traditional dances and its popular dances. People in a culture
should know as much about that culture's dance as they would about its art or
music. Second, dancing is a form of exercise. It develops muscles and raises
the heartbeat, just as playing a sport does. Good dancing requires control,
balance, strength and grace. These are all good qualities to hove. Third, I
think learning to dance builds confidence, and makes social events, such as
porties, much more comfortable. A good dancer is always welcome at porties
and is enjoyable to watch. And last but not least, dancing is a lot of fun. For
these reasons, I think dancing is for everyone.
Read the paragraph again. Then list on the chart the four main reasons that support the
writer's opinion.

you want to change it. Ask yourself questions to help you decide.
1• Do I want to add more ideas or details?
2. Do I want to take out any sentences?
3. Is there a clear beginning, middle and end?
4. Do I need to change the order of sorne sentences?
5. Do I need to change sorne words or sentences?
I hate to soy it, but my mum is right. It's important to be tidy and clean up
after yourself. How do I know? I'm going to tell you about my uncle. I went to
stay with my Uncle David in his small house for a week. I love my uncle, but he's
really sloppy. When I entered, there was sorne sort of old or sour smell I couldn't
identify. I worked it out when I saw all the dirty clothes on his chairs, bed and
floor. And not just his clothes. I saw old pizza delivery boxes and cereal boxes
and sweet wrappers and half-empty cola cans everywhere. I saw dirty plates
piled in the sink. His dishes weren't the only pile. I saw his sports equipment was
all thrown into a big pile in one comer. I saw his newspapers and magazines
were all in a pile in another comer. How can he find anything? And I saw his desk
had piles of papers and bills on it. How can he live like that? I know now that I
definitely don't want to!
Make changes. Write any sentences or sentences you change on the

lines below. Cross out any words or sentences you want to take out in
the draft above. lf you change the order of a sentence, underline it and
draw an arrow to show where you want to move it.
Write a good title for the revised paragraph.

Read the first draft below. Decide if you need to change
any sentences for style, grammar, punctuation, spelling
or capitalisation.
Everyone loves pandas. They are in danger of disapearing from the planet.
The most big threat to pandas is humans. Sorne people cut down the bamboo
forests. pandas use them for food. They need to eat enormus amounts of
bamboo every doy. It isn't very nutritious. Sorne people hunt them for food. Sorne
kill them for their fur. Leopards sometimes kill pandas to. Others build towns
where pandas like to live, and so they hove to leave. They're favourite habitat are
cool, wet, mountain forest land. Another reason pandas are in danger is that they
like to live alone most of the time They don't hove very many babys. If a mother
has two cubs, usually only one lives. The bears we love because they are so
cute will one doy live only in a few zoos around the world.
Underline the parts you think you want to change. Then write a
second draft of the paragraph with your changes.
