Let's look together at an example paragraph before we start writing our own.

“Nasreen’s Secret School” by Jeanette Winter is a story about a girl names Nasreen who lives in Herat, Afghanistan, with her grandmother during a time when girls were not allowed to go to school or go outside alone. It teaches us that some people will take dangerous risks to go to school because learning is very important to them. The text conveys this by describing how Nasreen’s grandmother takes her to a school that is secret because girls aren’t allowed to go to school. It also explains how they hurried to the school because women and girls were forbidden from going outside alone, and explains they were lucky that no soldiers saw them. All of these details emphasize the danger that Nasreen and her grandmother put themselves in for her to go to school and convey how important school and education were to them both to take such big risks.
