After, students will cut and paste pictures and also match them to sentences to practise sequential order. Then, they will write sentences using given action words, picture clues and words in a word bank to practise ordering and writing steps in a process. Soon after, students will write out the procedure on How to Wrap a Gift by themselves and will self-edit and peer edit their final writing pieces. Finally, students will submit their completed how to writing piece for teacher feedback. ** Note: all lessons and writing practice revolve around the mentor text, ‘How to Wrap a Gift’, this is so students will have ample practice on adhering to structure and writing style by modelling their writing on the same. You can then provide them with a writing prompt of your choice to apply skills learned.
