Dayna and I were finishing up teaching the HOW TO writing unit from the UOS, and we decided to have our students make HOW TO posters.
Here is a teacher sample :
TIP: Print the posters on 11x18 paper (enlarge)
The kids were super engaged because we had them take a topic from a cup (an adult pulled it out because of Covid). I think it felt a little special.
The topics in the cup were familiar to all the kids. Some topics were:
How to clean your desk.
How to play tag.
How to wear a mask.
How to learn a snap word.
How to wash your hands.
How to log onto Zoom.
For the student's first poster, they had to...
- Turn to their writing partner and orally rehearse the parts together. The kids were able to talk (6 feet apart... yes, it is noisy).
- Each partner made their own poster but had the same topic.
- After the students finished their posters, they selected another topic from the cup and made their own.
- We added a little bit of color to our posters.
- Last, we delivered posters around the building. For example, we gave the kindergarten teachers HOW TO posters about recess games.
Have a wonderful Friday!!!

Love this idea! The links are not working properly for the posters. Any chance you could fix them? I would love to use these the week before the December break to make a bunch of How-to Gingerbread posters. Thank you!!!!
