I laminated the task cards for my students because we use them with a variety of other activities as well. • I included several different formats of the paragraphs. Please use what works best for you. You could have the students use the half sheet paragraphs and correct them on their own paper to save yourself some printing. I included an extra lined sheet that I personally print double sided on each of the fix it paragraphs just incase my students need more space to write. • You could easily use the half page paragraphs as task cards once laminated. Include the answer key, and this would make for a great self checking center. • The possibilities of teaching opportunities with these are endless.
