Writing Unit: How To Books

This week we started our next unit in writing. We will be practicing writing How To Books. In order to gain a better understanding of this style of writing, the students helped me with the steps of making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. We invited Mr. Kowalczyk in to make the peanut butter and jelly sandwich based solely on what the students decided were good steps. After Mr. K made his "sandwich" we revised our writing and added many more steps and we will be inviting Mr. K back into our classroom next week to see if he will be able to make a sandwich!

Check out pictures below of how Mr. K did with our first draft of "How to Make a Peanut Butter and Jelly Sandwich"
