Lesson: Today the students started the planning process of their how-to papers. After some group discussion, the students picked their topics. We talked about the audience and purpose of an essay. After sharing an example, the students wrote the purpose of their essay. We practiced writing procedural steps. With the time left in class, the students began writing their own steps. We did all of this on the Process Planning sheet. See the picture below and download the attachment for a copy. We viewed the following presentation slides.
