1 Question

Directions: Throughout Units 1 and 2, you have been reading text to identify the challenges and how those challenges were overcome. At the beginning of this unit, you listened to a read-aloud of More Than Anything Else by Marie Bradby, took notes, and closely read a key excerpt from the text. Now you are going to write an informative paragraph to answer the question: What is the lesson in More Than Anything Else? Use details from the notes you color-coded in class to explain your thinking.

A well-written paragraph: 
■	 Introduces the book and the author and briefly explains what the book is about 
■	 Contains a topic sentence about the lesson in the story 
■	 Includes details from the text and explains how each detail conveys the lesson in the story 
■	 Provides a concluding sentence that restates the topic 
■	 Follows the rules of writing (spelling, punctuation, and grammar)

While you are working, refer to: 
■	 Reading for Gist and Recounting the Story: More Than Anything Else note-catcher 
■	 Close Reading note-catcher

Now, begin work on your paragraph. Manage your time carefully so that you can: 
1. Look over your notes and think about the lesson in the story. 
2. Plan the paragraph and think about what you are going to say. 
3. Write the paragraph.
