Here are two informational paragraphs written by students for a homework assignment. They are both about a popular classroom movement break that we sometimes do called a "snowball fight."
(The topic sentences are in red, the supporting details are in green, and transitions are underlined.)
The first paragraph is by Finn M:
It’s hard to disagree that snowball fights are the most fun things ever. But have you ever done it with paper? We have! It is one of our class's many movement breaks. First, we right something on a piece of paper with our name on it, sometimes we right things we are good at, things we like, or just things that are cool about us. After that, you crumple the paper into a ball. Finally, we fight, we can not team up and we can’t throw a ball at someone’s eye. You can throw any ball you find, except the yellow snowball. It is Mr. Salsich’s paper, you can recognize it because of the snowball’s yellow color. In conclusion, the paper snowball fight is almost as fun as a real snowball fight.
The second paragraph is by Lily:
A movement break we sometimes have in class is a “snowball fight.” That is when we each get a piece of paper and write our name in the middle and sometimes we ask questions about something we are learning about or sometimes three things about us. However, Mr. Salsich has a yellow snowball so we all know it is his. Also, you are not allowed to team up, but we all aim for Mr. Salsich when he joins in. Then, when it is over we all grab a snowball and uncrumple it and look whose it is. That is why I really like doing this movement break.
Here is a video of some "snowball" fights in action:
