2 paragraphs:
Paragraph 1 (500-550 words): Start with a topic sentence that describes your daily life. Then
use the elements of descriiption, illustration, and narration you read about in this lesson to
describe your home, family, work, school, and other responsibilities and activities that take up
your time. Include information about your schedule and how much time you dedicate to each
part of your day.
Paragraph 2 (500-550 words): Start with a topic sentence that identifies 3 or 4 steps, tools,
techniques, or strategies you use to manage your time; for example, a wall chart for family
chores, the calendar app on your phone to keep your scheduled, or a quiet study space. Then
explain in detail how you use each one.
When you revise, focus on:
 Paragraph one is descriiptive and should begin with a topic sentence that introduces you; next,
describe the people and animals (family and pets) that you live with. Describe what a typical day
is like. Eliminate all off topic discussion. This paragraph should be 500 – 550 words.
 Paragraph two is process analysis and should begin with a topic sentence that names three or four
success strategies. Success strategies must be concrete and reproducible by other students. Some
techniques include:
• Advance meal preparation
• Online shopping
• Help from family members
• A dedicated study area
• A dedicated study time
• Lists
• Calendars
• Reminders
Remember to proofread and edit your work. Check
your grammar, punctuation, and sentence structure.
