I paragraph

Do you have a favorite place you like to visit? My favorite place that I like to visit is Disney World because they have great parks, you can meet characters, and the rides are fun. Disney World is such a magical place.  

Reason paragraphs should have a topic sentence. 3 sentences about A and 3 sentences about B. Here is an example

 To begin, Disney world has so many parks that you can visit. The Magic Kingdom is one of the most popular parks that people visit when they go to Disney World. Magic Kingdom has different lands that each have so many rides and things to do. You can see Fantasy Land, Adventure Land, and Tomorrow Land. Another park that I like to visit is Hollywood Studios. At Hollywood studies you can see how some movies were made. They even have a new section called Toy Story Mania.

We have also learned how to write the conculsion paragraph. Conculsion paragraphs should 1. restate the three reasons 2. have a thought or feeling sentence. 3. Have an ending sentence. 

As you can see, parks, characters, and rides make Disney World my favorite place to visit. There is no greater feeling in the world than being at Disney World. Dreams really do come true at Disney World.
