I will do this
By Rita

I am going to do the same thing with my kids. I am going to orally brainstorm with them and then let them write. I don't want them to just copy me. I think this will be a great way to see their ideas and I know it will be funny to read. I made up a sheet to look like a big recipe card. It says "From the kitchen of _______" and then it has the title "How to Cook A Turkey". I am going to bind each child's page into a class book and title it "Our Thanksgiving Cookbook". In addition to this, I am going to have the kids write a Thansgiving menu as well where they will simply list the things that they will have for Thanksgiving. I am going to have them do this on a paper plate. Hope this helps! It is great writing practice!
