Writing Activities

Activity A

Directions: On a separate sheet of paper, write the following paragraph, correcting all the fragments.

My last trip to Los Angeles was a disaster. First the flight was late. And really crowded. We all huddled in the small plastic chairs by the gate. Until we heard the announcement saying it was time to board.. Then, we entered the aircraft. Which had the skinniest, most uncomfortable seats I've ever seen. After what seemed like forever, we made our descent. Toward LAX airport. But there was a problem. We had to circle the airport for another 45 minutes. Before we could land. When I finally got off that hot, cramped plane. I wanted to jump for joy. Then I found out my bags had been lost.
