Today we practiced reading and writing procedural compositions. Here are the results of your work together. Great work, guys! A few more things to remember about procedural writing:
Include a title. It should be simple and explain what the writing is about. Ex. How to Fry an Egg. Remember, in a title you capitalize the first letter of every significant word (ie. do not capitalize "a", "the", "and", "it" UNLESS that word is the first in word in the title - check out some books for examples on this).
Illustrations. You will not be evaluated on if you include an illustration in your writing on tomorrow's assessment, but remember that even a small illustration can help illustrate something that seems very complex.
Introductory sentences. Write a sentence or two addressing why someone might need help with this procedure and how improving in this area will help them in the end. Ex. Keeping a clean and organized locker will help you get to your classes on time and will eliminate the frustration of having to search for a lost book or assignment. Follow these easy steps an you're school days will run much smoother.
Take a look at the examples above. Evaluate the writing. What level would you give it? Does it include the necessary forms of procedural writing. What does it do well? What would you add?
