This is an educational worksheet titled 'Paragraph Puzzle 1' that presents mixed-up sentences from the Newbery Medal winning biography 'Lincoln: A Photobiography' by Russell Freedman.

The worksheet also includes discussion questions about the process of sorting and ordering the sentences.
Grade Level Suitability:
This worksheet is suitable for grades 4-6. The activity requires reading comprehension, critical thinking, and organizational skills, making it appropriate for students in the upper elementary and early middle school grades. The subject matter relates to US history and biography, which are often covered in these grade levels.
Why Use It:

Next, they should sort the strips into two piles based on the main topic of each paragraph. After sorting, students should arrange the sentences within each pile to form coherent paragraphs. Finally, they should answer the discussion questions to reflect on their choices. The teacher can then compare the student's arrangement to the original in the book.
