Last Week
When Andrew Pudewa and Nathan King reconvened for last week’s Facebook Live event, they began by discussing some of the differences between Unit 3 and Unit 5. Andrew explained that Unit 5 can range in number of paragraphs, from one paragraph to more than three. Furthermore, he explained that the purpose of each paragraph in Unit 5 is the same, but that in Unit 3, always a three-paragraph model, each paragraph has its own function. There are other differences between the two units that they describe, so be sure to catch the recording, which you can access at this link.
Attendees posed several excellent questions which were dutifully answered. A small sample of them include queries about the topic/clincher rule, how to title a composition, and whether or not a student can combine multiple facts into one sentence. It was an informative assembly.
