How to Carve a Pumpkin Writing: Halloween Procedural Writing and Sequencing

Saturday, October 15, 2016

Carving a pumpkin is a fall memory most kids can explain step by step. This activity has them order the sequencing cards, find their words, then publish the steps in a flipbook.

This how to carve a pumpkin writing activity turns a fall favorite into a real procedure your students can explain. They put the sequencing cards in order on the mat, use the vocabulary cards to find the words, then publish their steps in a simple flipbook. It is low prep and works for those last minute lessons.
