4th grade Writing Assignment Name___________________ Class______

This year’s music program is about taking care of our planet earth. Think about some of the things you do at home, at school or out in the community that helps to clean up the earth. Maybe you plant a garden each year, or collect cans or newspapers. Maybe you and your relatives get together to plant trees or flowers in the spring.

Write 2 paragraphs, at least 5 sentences in each paragraph, telling what you do to take care of the earth. If you are not doing a good job at that, maybe you have a plan for what you would like to start doing. Use descriptive adjectives and colorful words. I will be grading on ideas so use many details and word choice. I will also be grading on conventions. The final draft is due March 20. Your outline or rough draft is due March 6.
