How do you catch a fish? Talk about the steps with your students. Use the sequencing cards to review the steps and discuss the order and details of the process. Use all the resources to teach not only about hamburgers, but about expository and informational writing. “How To” writing requires certain kinds of information and steps.

How To Use This:

Print all the resources you think you’ll need for your lesson. I’ve included many options so that you can “build your own” approach to the subject. Laminate whichever resources you might want to reuse or that will be handled by the kids directly. Help talk them through the process and discuss the importance of each step and detail. Read the example essay for ideas. Then help them write first drafts. Use the editing checklist to proofread and then encourage them to write a second or final draft.
