Step-by-step solution for: Paragraph Writing Worksheets - 15 Worksheets Library
It looks like you've uploaded an image of a worksheet titled "Cut 'n' Paste Scrambled Paragraph Freebie" with the topic "My Own Business". This is an educational activity designed to help students practice organizing sentences into a coherent paragraph by cutting and pasting them in the correct order.
Let’s solve this step-by-step, as if we were completing the worksheet.
---
- You are given 6 scrambled sentences.
- Your job is to reorder them logically to form a meaningful paragraph about someone starting their own dog-walking business.
- Then, you’ll write the correct sequence on the Answer Sheet.
---
1. He has been in business almost a year and his business thrives.
2. Every Saturday, I have about seven dog-walking appointments.
3. A few days later, my neighbor’s cousin, Skipper, was my first customer.
4. Mom and I planned to teach him how to walk dogs in our backyard.
5. Last summer, I started a dog walking business.
6. Skipper’s owner thought it was such a great job that he told all his friends.

We need to find the logical flow of events:
1. Start with the beginning:
The story starts when the narrator begins the business.
→ Sentence 5: *"Last summer, I started a dog walking business."*
✔ This should be first.
2. Next: Who was the first customer?
After starting, they got their first customer.
→ Sentence 3: *"A few days later, my neighbor’s cousin, Skipper, was my first customer."*
✔ This follows naturally after starting the business.
3. How did they prepare?
Before taking on customers, they trained Skipper.
→ Sentence 4: *"Mom and I planned to teach him how to walk dogs in our backyard."*
✔ This makes sense after getting the first customer — training is needed.
4. Then, word spreads:
After doing a good job, others heard about it.
→ Sentence 6: *"Skipper’s owner thought it was such a great job that he told all his friends."*
✔ This leads to more customers.
5. Now, regular business grows:
As word spreads, the narrator gets many appointments.
→ Sentence 2: *"Every Saturday, I have about seven dog-walking appointments."*
✔ This shows the business growing.
6. Final sentence: Long-term success:
The business has been running successfully for nearly a year.
→ Sentence 1: *"He has been in business almost a year and his business thrives."*
✔ This wraps up the story with the outcome.
