Writing Workshop How To Stories

A few post back I started How To Stories with my class during writing workshop.

I always forget that k's love writing How To Stories!! It seems almost easier for them than personal narratives. The template I used below is posted on my blog if you want to download it. Many of the students are writing How To Plant a Garden, so I decided to share Lois Ehlert's books that connect to that.

 This year, I am trying to scan samples of students' books so I can use them for future mini-lessons.

First, Sun Shine Spot in backyard grass dirt

Next, seeds. Friends to help. Plant the seeds.

Then, plant the seeds you seed sun and water to make it grow. My mom will help.

Finally, they grow

How to Go Bowling

First, you need to put your bowling shoes on.

Next, you need to stand up.

Then, you need to pick up a bowling ball.

Finally, you have to throw the ball down the lane, and it hits the bowling pins.
