Lesson: The students started their how-to paper rough drafts today. Today they worked on their introduction paragraphs. The introduction should include the following:
- 3-5 sentences
- Sentence 1: Attention grabbing first sentence
- Sentence 2: State your purpose
- Sentence 3: List your materials
As a class, we practiced writing attention grabbing first sentences. I suggested they ask a question as their first sentence. In the next sentence, stating their purpose would be the answer to the question. We practiced writing creative questions using the example of how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich, I modeled writing an introduction paragraph. I color coded it so they could see each required part.
"Are you tired of going hungry when your parents aren't home to make dinner? I will explain how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich for a quick, easy, and nutritious snack. To make the perfect peanut butter and jelly sandwich, you will need bread, peanut butter, jelly, a knife, and plate."
Homework: Finish your introduction paragraph
