In class we have been discussing 'How To' writing and the importance of specific word choice. So to practice this skill students had opportunities to give step by step directions orally but now it was time to put in in writing! For this activity I had available 3 sequential pictures showing how to draw a simple turkey. As each student drew their turkey they wrote their directions. Once completed students were partnered up to draw another turkey this time following ONLY their partners written directions.
