Writing "how to" Stories!!

Writing "how to" stories has never been easier or more fun!!

Your class will be experts at the standard by the time they have completed the packet and can create one of their own!!

Each of the 4 topics focuses on a project:

Making cookies

Building a snowman

Making hot chocolate

Decorating a tree

The graphic organizers are differentiated to create choices for students and to meet individual development needs.

The graphic organizers are followed by three selections of final write pages.

I like this because they meet the needs of all levels of students in your classroom.

There is a cover so you can create a class book to showcase student writing.

Pictures help to promote thinking about order.

No matter what grade you will find a final write page appropriate for your class.

The use of the words first, next, then, now...are consistently used to promote competency.
