May Writing Workshop

                       Writing a How-To...


The purpose of this unit is to encourage our children to see writing as a way to teach others . 

Some of the goals for the children are: 

  • They will create a text that will teach others how to do something.
  • Students will learn how to elaborate on each "step" by adding tiny action, specific vocabulary and transitional words like first, next, and last.  
  • Students will use their letter sound knowledge to write words that have beginning, middle and ending sounds.
  • Students will continue to improve their use of spacing in order to make their story more readable.
