Classroom Activities
about transition signals or content that helps determine the order of information. Tell those students you would like them to share their ideas with the whole class when everyone is finished putting the essay in order.
8. When all groups believe they have their essays in the correct order, have students report their choices to the whole class. Ask a student to read aloud the paragraph his/her group chose for the introduction and explain why they made that choice (e.g., because it introduces the topic by defining the topic of the essay, knitting circles). Ask a different group to read its choice for the first body paragraph and so on until the whole essay has been read in order. Make sure to draw your students’ attention to the introductory clauses in each body paragraph and the way they help connect the paragraphs in chronological order.
a) First, you should invite some people to join your knitting circle.
b) Next, you need to decide when and where to meet.
c) After you have decided on a time and place, contact the other members of the circle to tell them where you will meet and what they should bring. (In this sentence, time and place is a reference to when and where to meet in the previous paragraph.)At your first meeting, you should discuss your long-term plans for the club. (The other paragraphs discuss what to do before the first meeting.)
d) At your first meeting, you should discuss your long-term plans for the club. (The other paragraphs discuss what to do before the first meeting.)

Be sure your students notice that the conclusion summarizes the main idea and provides a concluding remark—in this case, one that offers a prediction for what might happen in the future.
9. You may choose to provide everyone with a copy of the reading passage in the correct order after you finish the class discussion about the correct order of information.
10. Ask your students to think back to their predictions about the information that might be included in the essay. Were they correct? What is different or missing, and why?Resorce : http://exchanges.state.gov/englishteaching/forum/archives/docs/forum-11-49-01/49_1_7_classroom-activities.pdf
