How to Make Hot Chocolate | Writing and Sequencing Activity

Let's make hot chocolate! This comprehensive writing toolkit centers around the delicious example of making hot chocolate to teach elementary students procedural "how-to" composition. With abundant resources catering to diverse learning styles, the product transforms an appealing real-world routine into an engaging literacy lesson that develops sequence skills.

Two anchor charts visually introduce the conventions of the genre while offering transitional phrases to connect steps. Detailed checklists support student self-evaluation at two ability levels. A sample "How to Make Hot Chocolate" modeled by the teacher demonstrates key features like chronological order, imperative verbs and listing required ingredients/tools.

Sequencing tasks with vivid illustration cards reinforce the logical flow of preparations like heating milk, adding cocoa powder, stirring and garnishing with marshmallows. Versions with and without text support differentiation. Writing templates further reinforce ordering from beginning to end while building confidence to incorporate personal flair.

Primary-lined composition booklets with pictures to color create enthusiasm for writing the procedural passage. Finished how-to guides shine when decorated with final draft templates featuring graphical representations of the tantalizing outcome! This cross-curricular resource incorporates math, science and life skills into literacy instruction on an essential writing form.
