The past week we have studied Procedural Reading. These readings are meant to have the reader create or learn how to do something. For example, cookbooks, art crafts, and simple directions are all types of procedural readings. We have learned the various features such as: introduction, materials/supplies/ingredients, steps, transition words, pictures, tips/suggestions, and of course a conclusion.
As we match our reading with our writing, students have written a "How-To" this week on something they consider themselves to be a master at. They wrote using each of these features to teach a person the skill they have mastered. Topics ranged from making brownies to riding a scooter. They have really enjoyed sharing their knowledge.
If you need some extra activities over break below are some crafts to make. See how well you can follow directions and bring your craft in to share in January.
Enjoy!
