Process paragraph: Explanation

In class, we talked about Process paragraphs. We made a peanut butter and jelly sandwich and we described order of the pictures about traveling. The Peanut butter and jelly paragraph would be considered a "how to" process paragraph. The other process paragraph is an "explanation". This tells the reader how a particular event occurred or how something works.

Below I have given you a list of transitions I would like you to include in your process paragraph. You do not have to use them all.

(initially, until, afterward, before, when, as soon as, during, meanwhile, finally)

I would like for you to write an explanation paragraph for this assignment. Whatever topic or theme, however, it has to tell how an event occurred or how something works.
