The PresentóFour Ways From Kevin Buchman, a fifth grade teacher at Perry Middle School in Perry, Ohio: ìHereís a great writing activity for the holidays that reviews the four basic types of writing styles and that can be adapted to any grade level. My students write one expository paragraph explaining how to wrap a present, one descriptive paragraph describing what the present looks like after itís been wrapped, and one narrative paragraph describing what will happen to the present. The final paragraph is a persuasive paragraph explaining why the present is the best present given.î
