Teachers can utilize this template to support their Writers' Workshop unit on How-To books. Students will deepen their understanding about how to do something and learn to become writers of How-To books. They will learn to explain how to do something in chronological order.
*Ideal for grades 1 & 2

I have included writing pages with transitional words at the beginning (First, Next, Then, After, Finally, Last). I have also included a blank page with lines. Each page has a space for a picture.
