2 Can you identify them?

3 If I could give myself a talent I don’t have, I would choose to be able to draw for many reasons. First of all, I really can’t draw at all. My daughters always ask me to draw things for them and then they can’t tell what I drew. If I could draw I wouldn’t have to resort to computer graphics and clip art books to find pictures I need. It would take less time if I could just draw them. Finally, I think it would come in handy to be able to illustrate stories that I like to write. Learning to draw would really be a great idea!

4 Is this a perfect power paragraph? Did the writer indent? ____ yes ____ no Does the power 1 state the topic and focus the reader? ____ yes ____ no Are there at least 4 power 2s? ____ yes ____ no Is the power 1 interesting? ____ yes ____ no Does each power 2 support the power 1? ___ yes ___ no Is there a power 3? ___ yes ___ no Does the power 3 restate the power 1 in a new way? ___ yes ___ no Does the power 3 conclude the paragraph? ___ yes ___ no

5 If I could give myself a talent I don’t have, I would want to be able to sing because I always embarrass myself when I sing in public. I don’t know anything about singing, so it would be fun to learn. I think I could probably take singing lessons at the music studio in town. Hopefully it wouldn’t cost too much money. I would like to be able to sing.

6 Is this a perfect power paragraph? _______ yes ______ no If you answered YES number the handful of things that make it perfect in the paragraph. If you answered NO, circle everything that is wrong in the paragraph.

I don’t know anything about singing, so it would be fun to learn. I think I could probably take singing lessons at the music studio in town. Hopefully it wouldn’t cost too much money. I would like to be able to sing.

8 One talent I would love to have is to be able to play the flute. I use to play the flute, but then I broke my arm and never played again. I think the flute is a pretty instrument. My aunt plays the flute, and my uncle plays the trumpet. My uncle even plays in a band. His trumpet sure is loud. Playing the flute really would be a great talent to have.

9 Is this a perfect power paragraph? Explain your answer.  Didn’t indent  3 of the power 2s are off topic – don’t support the power 1  “My aunt plays the flute, and my uncle plays the trumpet.”  “My uncle even plays in a band.”  “His trumpet sure is loud.”

10 UGHHHH!!!!! None of the paragraphs were perfect! Can you write a perfect one? If you could change one thing about the weather where you live what would it be? Your prompt is:
