Bactrian Camel's Humps

Dear Grade Fives!  


Today: Last week you recorded notes answering the question: How are the camel humps used and how do they work? You edited your notes and we edited them as a class. 

*Please post your newly edited notes (e.g. the ones we discussed in class).

Using these edited notes, I would like you to answer the question in a single, complete paragraph.


     


     Tomorrow, you will edit your response, listen to it, and then have a peer edit it as well. Please note that the checklist is a bit longer. You will also be checking that you have used proper paragraph conventions. When you have made all of your corrections, you will copy your blog and post it as usual. You may want to have two windows open side-by-side, one with the blog letter and one being your word document.
Just a reminder that a paragraph contains:
a)  topic (promise) sentence: what you promise to tell the reader about
b) at least three support sentences (at least): specific examples or details about your topic
c)  concluding sentence: where you remind the reader what you promised to tell the reader

Love, Mrs. French

  1. Bactrian camels

    Here are some facts about the Bactrian camels. Bactrian camels have two humps and store fat in their humps. When the humps loose all there fat they become soft and flappy. In Bactrian camel’s humps they can store up to eighty pounds of fat. Arabian camels only have one hump which is different from the Bactrian camels because of there two humps. The humps store fat which helps them keep cool in the hot dessert weather. These are the facts that I learned about the Bactrian camels humps.
