How To Writing Unit

We kicked off our writing unit with a bang. I taught the kids HOW TO make an ice cream cone by making an ice cream cone... for each of them!  That got their attention!  We made a video of the steps as I was making the cone. Then we watched the video over and over as we wrote a how to piece together.  How to writing is teaching someone how to do something that you are an expert on.  It includes a "things you need" page,  all the steps and tips or hints.  I will share them with you at conferences in April.
