Writing

that people can do a project, cook something,
or make something.
 Like most paragraphs, how-to paragraphs
begin with a topic sentence to let readers know
what the paragraph is about.
 Let’s add this item to our list of characteristics
of how-to writing.

How-To Paragraphs
Include materials needed
Include, in order, details that explain how
to do a specific activity
Use words that show sequence, such as
first, next, and then
Include a topic sentence
T156
Writing cont.
 How-to writing often gives instructions
that ask people to do multiple (more than
one) things. For example, a sentence in a
how-to paragraph might say, Raise your
hand to make your dog sit, and then give
him a treat to reward him. When the
person is asked to do 2 related things,
cutting the sentence in two helps make
the sentence more clear for the reader.
T156
Writing cont.
 Good writers often brainstorm a list of
ideas they would like to write about
before they settle on one.
