You bet! Third grade students learned to write a “how-to” in a very authentic way...by chewing gum! Well, there was a bit more to it than that. This unit started with the teachers modeling the how-to writing process in another authentic way - by going through the steps in tying a shoe or making a sandwich, something for which all the kids could relate. The students then began their own writing process by brainstorming. This included drawing pictures of the steps and adding words to describe the pictures. The kids then actually chewed the gum to help them through the editing and revising steps! Check out the final, published pieces below.
