The students and I spent this week beginning our unit on writing informational text. The first type of informational text we will be working on and publishing are How to books. In groups, students looked at different types of how to books and came up with a list of notices about them. Students discovered that How To books typically teach people how to do or make something. This week the students and I worked through writing a how to book together: How To Eat A Gingerbread Cookie. The students mapped out what their first four bites of the gingerbread cookie would be and then wrote a narrative to go with their map using sequencing terms, First, Next, Then, Last. Enjoy the pictures below of the student's eating their gingerbread cookies and mapping out their How to Eat A Gingerbread Cookie story.
