This expansive writing toolkit centers around the festive example of cooking a turkey to teach young students procedural "how-to" composition.

Writing templates further reinforce ordering from beginning to end while building confidence to incorporate personal perspectives.

Primary-lined composition booklets with pictures to color create enthusiasm for writing the procedural passage.
