Mr. Limpert’s writing example
• The layer of the Earth my personality and I best
represent is the lithosphere. (topic sentence)
– There are three ways I symbolize this layer of the Earth. First, I
have two personalities. On Fridays, I am Mr. Limpert the science
teacher and Limpertstein, the famous science singer. This
relates to the lithosphere because it is made up of 2 parts. It is
both part of the crust and upper mantle. The second way I
resemble the lithosphere is because I love to juggle $3,000
Waterford Crystal plates and am very talented at it. This relates
to the lithosphere because pieces of the lithosphere are called
tectonic plates. Finally, I am like the lithosphere because my
favorite numbers are 15 and 300. Did you know that the
lithosphere has a thickness of 15-300 km? How about that?
• In conclusion, because I have split personalities on Friday, I am a
famous plate juggler, and my favorite numbers are 15 and 300 I
best represent the lithosphere layer of the Earth.
