In today's lab session we learned in chapter 5 the different paragraphs in a writing piece and what it contains and explains such as; introductory, developmental, transitional, and concluding. The introductory it explains the main idea also known as the thesis. Developmental paragraph elaborates on the topic in several sentences. The transitional paragraph takes the reader from one point of the essay to another. Lastly the concluding paragraph ends the essay by commenting the final sentence in the essay. In defining the paragraph we went over two exercises and analyzed the topic sentence, supports, and if there was one, the concluding sentence. We then reviewed over sections from the previous chapters as a refresher. To end the class we had a raffle. I won a New Orleans post card! Thank you Dr. Rivera!!
