手続き型クリエイティブライティングクラブ

In this ongoing class, students will write a procedural paragraph. They will brainstorm the different steps, use transition words, and write a paragraph. Below is a breakdown of the class:

****** INTRODUCE THE TOPIC ******
At the beginning of the class, I will introduce the topic. Students will be writing steps on the given topic. 

****** BRAINSTORM ******
I will model how to fill out the graphic organizer. Then, students will fill out their graphic organizer with their own ideas. Students will complete the organizer by:
            - Drawing a quick sketch of each step
            - Writing each step
            - Adding details to each step
            - Choosing a transition word for each step

****** USE TRANSITION WORDS ******
Students will use transition words for each step in their writing. I will provide students with a handout of different possible transition words. The transition word choices will include transitions for:
           - Beginning transition words
           - Ordinal transition words
           - Other sequence transition words
           - Ending transition words
