Procedural Writing

This is a great book about peace and also happens to contain strong procedural writing about how to fold a paper crane.

Thematically related to Remembrance Day, it has beautiful illustrations and contains great procedural writing. You would, of course, want to provide paper squares so that students can make the paper cranes as you read the book.

Comment bien laver son mammouth laineux is a good example of procedural writing that could be used as a model for writing procedures in Science. The humour is irresistible.

A great read aloud featuring the charming meerkat, Sunny. I will be taking a closer look at the features of informal letter writing by re-reading the postcards with my students.
