Did you do your Homework?

If the kids remembered, I sent home directions for them to give you for homework;) I've begun introducing our "how to" writing unit. This activity, "how to" make a leaf rub was designed to be very vague to emphasize the importance of being detailed in explanations for how to writing and to not leave out any steps. I gave them the green sheet and the materials to make a leaf rub and left them to it. They were boggled and ended up with doodles on their paper or hand drawn leaves. I then showed them and we edited the directions together to make it more clear. Their homework was to give this to you to try and then explain why it wouldn't work using those directions and they'd have to hopefully talk you threw it to give better steps!
