Day 131: 6/3/21 - Intro to "How to" Demo's

Good day 6th Graders,      

         Today we will start working on our "How to" procedural writing pieces. 

                        Thank you

                       Mr. Trumble

Do Now: 

1. Fill out your Agenda with tonight's Homework

Homework:

• Work on your "How to" writing Piece & gather the materials you need for your demonstration

Activity #1 
"How to" Demonstrations

1. Mr. Trumble's Demo

2. Quick list - Page (5 - 7 minutes)

Things to avoid:

• playing a sport
• drawing
• doing something that doesn't have steps
• complex movements
• tik tok dances
• things that are too easy or too hard
• things that will take too long (demos should only be about 5 - 10)
• Nothing to do with apps or phones

Drafting Steps For "How To" Demonstrations

Step 1: Create a list of materials/ingredients you will need

Step 2: Write out the steps for your "How To" Demonstrations. Be specific.

Step 3: Evaluate your draft with the help of a friend. Ask yourself if your steps are precise enough that any person could use the procedures you wrote up to successfully perform your "How To"

While you are working I will be having you sign up for a day to present your "How to" demo. It will be your responsibility to bring in the materials you need on, or before, the day of your demonstration.
