Today, we will be compiling an expository text about the Gulf Coast as a team. Together, we will write an inviting introduction and a closure that summarizes what makes our Gulf Coast so great! After all, we are nearing Thanksgiving and our coastal community provides us with many reasons to be thankful!
After we write our introductory paragraph, which will frame out paper, I will split you into pairs. Each pair will be assigned to one of the links below. Each link will take you to the destination of which you must research. During your first twenty minutes, you are to find three qualities that would attract visitors to our our home. These qualities may include recreational areas, science exhibits, historical landmarks, industrial giants, etc. Record your findings in your journals.
Gulf State Park
Bellingrath Gardens and Home
USS Alabama
Coastal History
Museum of Mobile- Fort Conde
Dauphin Island- Fort Gaines
Blakeley State Park
Exploreum
Fairhope- Jubilee
Dauphin Island Sea Lab
Downtown Mobile- Revitalization
Once you have recorded your findings, you must list at least 3 adjectives to describe each quality.
Create a paragraph that includes illustrious descriptions of each quality that you chose to highlight your destination.
Your paragraph should have at least 4 sentences (a main idea sentence and three destination quality sentences).
When you have finished, email your paragraph to awc802@gmail.com.
While you are waiting for others to finish, choose a photo that best represents your destination and save it to your iPad.
