Week #7: Summer Olympics Team USAThis week is another writing challenge. With the summer Olympics starting this week, I thought it would be interesting to do a little research paragraph. Visit http://www.teamusa.org/ and go to the "Athletes" tab. Choose an athlete from any sport. Read about him/her and then write a short paragraph about your chosen athlete. Your paragraph needs to be at least 7 sentences. You should have an introduction sentence (.5 points), 5 body sentences (.5 points), and a closing sentence (.5 points). You will also be graded on your details (2 points), and your grammar/conventions (1 point). Try to give a variety of information in your biography from physical facts, athletic facts, and personal facts. I look forward to what you discover about those who are representing our country in Rio. This activity is worth 4.5 bonus points.
