Introduction to "How-To" Instructional writing and creation of videos or PowerPoint presentations

Hi Kids,

Today in class, we went over the handout for instructional writing.  Afterward, I showed you examples of the "Instructional Essay" and the "Planning Boxes" that you will need before you create either a PowerPoint presentation (challenge or super-challenge), or a video (extreme challenge).  Then, the rest of class was spent in drafting the instructional steps for the thing you plan to teach. 

Please see the page on the upper-right corner of this blog which has some additional resources.

Homework:
        Due tomorrow (beginning of class):  Write a rough draft for at least ten steps of the thing you plan to teach.
       Due Friday (by the end of class): 
  •         at least 10 planning boxes
  •         a TYPED rough draft of your "Instructional Essay" with a conclusion, list of materials, and introduction paragraph
  •       your second kidblog.org posting....which you've known about for over a week.  Many of you have already done this - hooray for you!
