The children first brainstormed topics they felt they could teach someone else. Thank you for helping them at home. We sketched the steps we would take to teach someone about our topic, planning the transition words we would use. The children had a list of procedural words for reference. This list included words such as first, next, then, after that, last, and finally. Then we put each step on a separate page, wrote complete sentences, added detail, and worked hard to publish our books.
This was another experience following the writing process through to publication. First, the children brainstormed their topic. Next, they worked on a rough draft. After that, they made revisions and added detail. Then, they edited their work making sure they had capitals and periods in the correct places, spaces between their words, lower case letters, and trick words spelled correctly. Finally we designed covers for our published books.
Now we are on to informational writing. You can look forward to our published books on sea animals in the coming weeks. What amazing writers!
