My Trip to the Dog Park
Have you ever been to a dog park? They are so much fun! You see many furry four-legged friends and lots of two-legged companions too. This is a great place for dogs to make friends and for their owners to meet like-minded, dog-loving people. If you decide to visit a dog park make sure you watch where you're stepping and avoid puddles and piles on the ground. Most importantly, make sure you keep any treats out of sight and smell or else you may be the most popular doggie-friend at the park!
Vocabulary:
companion: a person or animal who spends a lot of time with another person or animal
avoid: keep away from
popular: liked by many people
owner: having something in possession
importantly: showing serious meaning
furry: covered with fur
ground: surface of the Earth
Grammar Point
Punctuations tells us how the narrator is presenting an idea. If the narrator is asking a question a question mark (?) will be placed at the end of the sentence. If the narrator is making a statement or making a command a period (.) will be placed at the end of the sentence. If the narrator is shouting or yelling, an exclamation mark (!) will be placed at the end of the sentence. Create one sentence for each vocabulary word and use the three punctuations at the end of the sentences.

ReplyDeleteNice entry! Yes, as Lilian said, remember to define the target words and put them in bold. You also need a grammar point for your entry -- maybe about punctuation -- periods, question marks, and excamation points.
