Directions: Look at the following introduction paragraph that we worked with in the introduction paragraph module.

If someone is really concerned about your problems in school, he/she will be willing to help you to learn. I had difficulties in math when I was in middle school. I really hated math, and I didn't learn anything because I didn't understand the process. Then when I was in high school, I had a very good teacher. He saw my problems, and he offered to help me. He taught me many skills from the fundamental concepts to the advanced principles, so I learned from the basic skills to the high level in this class.

The paragraphs below are the body paragraphs for this introduction paragraph. They are not in the correct order. See if you can organize the following body paragraphs to go along with the introduction paragraph. Read all of the paragraphs and then click the the letter by the order that you think is correct.

 

As my math skills developed, I got involved with my classmates to study in a group. My group had four people, and I became the best one in this group. I could solve the problems when my friends got stuck. I became more advanced in class and self confident. I could solve the problems on the board in front of my classmates and Mr. Hoan.
.
I realized that math class helped me to have basic skills and good grades in mathematics and is continuing to help me in college. While I have lived in America, I have attended math classes in college. I feel confident in class although my English is limited. Because I learned the basic skills, I could solve problems quickly and easily.
.
I first had to learn the basic concepts from Mr. Hoan. He taught me from the beginning how to solve positive and negative numbers, fractions, absolute value, and equations. He made me study hard. I had to do a lot of homework every night. He taught me individually three hours per week. He was very patient with my math problems. He made flash cards to help me learn the math formulas. Sometimes he had to use visual aids of objects to help me understand the problems. I kept doing a lot of homework and getting help from Mr. Hoan, so mathematics began to get easier for me. I became more interested in math.
.
I took intermediate Algebra when I was in tenth grade in Vietnam. The class met in the morning three times per week for an hour. There were 20 students in this class. Mr. Hoan was my teacher. He was really good and kind to his students. He was especially concerned about me. After we had had a discussion, he understood the origin of my math difficulties. He wanted me to make progress in learning so he tried to help me learn.

This is a difficult exercise. Lessons and discussions may want to address issues such as coherence, parallelism and transitions. These topics are not covered in the project.
