Sentence Mix-up

When you write, you do not always put ideas in the best order the first time. By rereading the paragraph carefully, you can sometimes find a better way to order the sentences. The result? A paragraph that reads more smoothly.

In this activity, you will put groups of sentences in the order you think they belong. Keep in mind, there is no one correct order.

Steps

1. Find the topic sentence to begin the paragraph.

2. Then look for key words that link certain sentences together. Order the supporting detail sentences after the topic sentence.

3. Finally put the summary sentences at the end of the paragraph.

Exercise 1

Here is the first group of sentences. Copy the sentences to the <  > angle brackets below, one sentence after another, in the correct order. When you are finished, you should have a logical paragraph.


====================


After five minutes of reading, he says he is too tired to study and heads for bed.

Right after dinner, he gets on his bike and goes up to the park.

I'm not surprised that Roger has trouble with his schoolwork.

Then he listens to records for an hour or so before dinner.

When he comes home, he throws his books in the corner.

When he gets back from the park, he's just in time for his favorite TV shows.

About 11 o'clock, he finally picks up a book.

Now copy the above sentences to the <  > angle brackets below in the order you think works best.

<  >

Now read the paragraph over. Does it fit together? If not, do some more rearranging.


====================


Exercise 2

After a while she said that Tyler was boring because he didn't like to watch scary movies.

First she said she liked Jason because he was funny and made her laugh.

Madeline couldn't decide whether she liked Jason or Tyler.

Then she said that Jason was too silly, and that she liked Tyler because he was a brain.

Before long both Jason and Tyler quit calling her, and Madeline didn't have the problem anymore.

====================


Now copy the above sentences to the < > angle brackets below in the order you think works best.

<  >


====================

Exercise 3

When Jamie started pitching bread crumbs, the brown ducks swam over to catch them.

By the time the ducks had settled down, the squirrel was full and the bread crumbs were gone.

Then the white ducks showed up, quacking and pushing the brown ducks out of the way.

While the white ducks were arguing with the brown ducks, Jamie found a tame squirrel to feed.

Jamie and Grandpa strolled down to the pond to feed the ducks.


====================


Now copy the above sentences to the <  > angle brackets below in the order you think works best.

<  >


====================

Exercise 4

Now write a four-sentence paragraph of your own at the <  > angle brackets below. Be sure to include words in each sentence that will show how the sentence fits together with the others.

<  >


====================

When you have finished your paragraph, mix up the order of the sentences. Then ask your partner or a friend to read the sentences and restore order.

If you haven't done so already, name and save this file now. (Press ctrl+S, type a name for the file, and press enter.)
