My son’s Grade One teacher has been assigning writing activities, and has been encouraging students to watch these short videos first.  Today my son watched the video on how to write a “how to” book, and then wrote his own book.  He really enjoyed doing this.  He is often reluctant to write, and this had him engaged for a long time!

I encourage you to watch her videos, and you might want to ask your students to watch them, and try the writing the teacher is modelling.

Here is the link to her video on making a “how to” book.  I’ve attached my son’s book too!
