About this activity
Grade 10 OSSLT writing practice: each span of a fictional Bruce Peninsula footbridge is an original information paragraph that students build in the test's own formats (choose the topic sentence, cut the sentence that does not belong, drag the details into a logical order, choose transitions and a concluding sentence from drop-down menus), then watch a crew member walk the span to see whether it holds.
What students learn
- Choose a topic sentence that carries every supporting detail, rejecting a single detail and a claim too broad for one paragraph (C1.4)
- Decide which true sentence is not relevant to a paragraph's main idea and remove it (C1.5)
- Order supporting details by the pattern the topic sentence sets up: time order, cause and effect, or order of importance (C1.4)
- Make smooth, logical transitions between ideas and close a paragraph with a sentence that sums up its main idea (C2.4)
