What We've Been Up To
How do you eat an Oreo? Do you bite into the whole thing, or twist off the top and lick the frosting? We ended our informational writing unit with some "how to" writing - and what better thing to write about than how to eat an Oreo!
First we each ate an Oreo and talked about how we ate it. We added the "dunking in milk" column after some discussion that eating at home would be different. Then we graphed our findings. Next, we wrote about the steps we took to eat the Oreo. What did we do first, next, then last? What details could we add to each part? How would we write a topic sentence that would draw the reader in? Finally, we write our "how to" paragraphs and shared them with each other. Have fun and do some research with your family - how do YOU eat an Oreo?
