Title
Insert your context paragraph here. Make sure your context/introductory paragraph
explains what you are writing about, why it is important/why people want to learn how to do it,
and why you may be qualified to write about it. It should also give me a sense of who your
audience is. I am including an example context paragraph below this one.
Popcorn balls are tasty treats that pop in the fall of every year. My family enjoys popcorn
balls in October as a Halloween custom, and then again at Christmastime, when we gather as a
family to snack while wrapping gifts. Popcorn balls are delicious little desserts that are fun and
easy to make.
Notice that the paragraph above has all of the elements I mentioned previously. We
know that this how-to essay is about making popcorn balls. We know that this kid probably
knows his/her stuff, because popcorn balls are part of a family tradition every year. That family
tradition also makes popcorn balls an important, memorable event for this student. We also get
a sense of the audience this student is writing for-someone who wants to make a yummy,
easy-to-make treat.
