This video clip shows part of a lesson of me teaching writing endings for "how-to's". I taught them that their "how-to's" cannot just end with the last step, but they must have and ending to encourage the reader and let the reader know it is time to enjoy their hard work. I read the students an example of an ending from the book "How to Make Salsa". As a class we came up with different ways one could start an ending. The students then created endings for their own "how-to's" that they had been working on.

During this lesson, I reviewed common punctuation with the students and we discussed what they should do when they come to these punctuation marks. I read the book "Yo!Yes?" to the students without expression, and then I read it with expression. We discussed which way was the better way to read. The students all read the book aloud together according to punctuation and with expression. They really enjoyed doing that. They then read with a partner and practiced reading according to punctuation.
