Explanation writing about Grandparents

This Friday (19.10.18) is our Greats and Grands day. On Monday (15.10.18) we did a Pear Deck activity on explanation writing. In the activity we wrote 4 things about our grandparents problems and then chose one to write about. One of my reasons was Poor Eyesight. That is what I did my explanation on. Here is my Explanation:

Grandparents Explanation

Grandparents are people who have had children and those children have had their own children. My explanation is about failing eyesight. Do any of your grandparents have poor eyesight?

Firstly, a lot of old grandparents have poor eyesight. Like my Grandad. He has poor eyesight, and that is why he wears glasses while he reads. Grandparents shoul8d (if they have poor eyesight, otherwise what's the point) wear glasses while they read, cook or do regular day activities.

Secondly, grandparents should write in large writing so that they can see it better. They also can read books with large text so they don’t always need their glasses on while reading.

Thirdly, they could get a dog to help them walk around. Guide dogs are very helpful to the people that need help with walking places or loss of eyesight. Guide dogs will walk you around to places so that you don’t have to find your way around by yourself.

Failing eyesight is bad. I hope that my ideas have gotten you encouraged to try one of them. In the future there should be more ways to help blind people or people that don’t see very well, get around, read and do regular activities.
