Grade 4 Procedural Writing Assignment-Presentations start Thursday, January 25th.

Since we returned from the break, we have been learning about how to write a procedural text in Language class. Last week students learned about the importance of breaking down a task into specific and detailed steps from the "Making a Cheese Sandwich" activity. We completed a shared writing activity and using Hapara, I shared a copy with each of the students. I added a few anchor charts at the bottom of our writing to support them during our independent writing activity.

Jello Procedural Writing
On Monday, January 15th, we made Jello as a special class activity. We had a lovely volunteer come in to help me make Jello with students in groups. We had them go through each step that needed to be completed as we made the Jello. Now students are doing their own writing! They can use pictures from home or do a google search to add to their slide deck presentation. I created a template with students and shared it with each of them. Some students have asked if they can write about something other then making Jello. I have asked that they check with me and take pictures at home to ensure that they can show each of the steps. If your child is choosing an alternative topic (with permission), please ensure they have the photos needed for each step of their directions in their Google Drive. I would recommend downloading the Google Drive app and having your child login
(username: first name.last name@ocsbstudent.ca) with their unique password and upload the photos from your device.
