I understand that this Google Doc will be printed during my first technology class upon arrival from holiday break. For
example: If I have technology on Thursday, Ms. Diebolt will be collecting my paper on Thursday during that time. If I
know that I will be absent on that day, then I will turn it into Ms. R before I leave.

My Expository Piece Checklist:

o

I have a well-organized paper that is divided into 5 paragraphs as

discussed in class through the 5th Grade Writing Samples Ms. R modeled for us.

o The 5-8 sentence paragraphs that I have in my paper are described below:

Introduction Paragraph:
Hooks in your reader with a question or lead, gives the reader an overview of what your paper will be
about
Body Paragraph 1:
Informs the reader on the first main idea or subtopic you chose from your graphic organizer
Body Paragraph 2:
Informs the reader on the second main idea or subtopic you chose from your graphic organizer
Body Paragraph 3:
Informs the reader on the third main idea or subtopic you chose from your graphic organizer
Conclusion Paragraph:
Summarizes the main idea of your paper and what you want your reader to know. Pulling small bits of
information from each body paragraph to summarize your main idea is a great way to make this happen.

I have used proper Language Conventions (grammar) in my Expository piece and

have double checked my word usage and sentence structure by reading it aloud to
myself. (This helps me find silly mistakes).

o I have edited my piece numerous times to ensure that I have spelled words
correctly.
o I have checked over my paper is typed using the "left alignment" (not centered on
the page like a poem), has a clear font, and is indented before every paragraph.
