How to Dress for Winter: Procedural Writing Flipbook and Sequencing Cards

Bundling up for recess is a real procedure my students know by heart, which makes it perfect for how to writing. They put the photo cards in order, plan, then publish their steps in a flipbook.

This how to dress for winter writing activity walks your students through bundling up for the cold, 1 layer at a time. Students put the photo cards in order, brainstorm on a graphic organizer, then publish their steps on a flipbook they are proud to hang on a winter bulletin board.
