Writing Workshop

This week we have started our immersion process for Procedural (How To...) Writing.  The students have really enjoyed reading and looking at all the "How To" books in our basket.  We have discovered that most "How To" books have the following:
1.  Introduction
2.  List of materials
3.  Steps/Directions
4.  Pictures
5.  Conclusion

I am excited for the students to begin their "How To" writing pieces.  I can't wait to read about what they are "experts" on!  This is a FUN writing unit!
Stay tuned for a list of writing topics....hmmm "How To Build a Snowman".  That might be a FUN Friday Class Activity! :)
