​Step 1: Prepare Materials

📝 Each student should have a blank sheet of paper and a pen or pencil.
📝 Write their name at the top of the page.

Step 2: Writing the First Step

📌 Each student writes a topic sentence introducing a simple process (e.g., making a sandwich, brushing teeth, planting a seed).
📌 Then, they write only the first step of the process, using a sequencing word (e.g., "First, begin by...").

Step 3: Pass the Paper

🔄 After writing the first step, students pass their paper to the right.
🔄 Each student reads what was written and adds the next logical step, using sequencing words (e.g., "Next, Then, After that").

Step 4: Continue Passing and Adding Steps

➡️ Repeat Step 3 until the paper returns to the original writer.
➡️ Encourage students to follow the logical flow of the process.
➡️ The final step should conclude the process (e.g., "Finally, enjoy your sandwich!").

Step 5: Editing and Revising

✏️ Each student reviews their completed process paragraph.
✔️ Check for logical order and sequencing discourse devices.
✔️ Revise for clarity, grammar, and punctuation.
✔️ Rewrite the paragraph neatly if needed.

Step 6: Share and Reflect

🗣️ Volunteers can read their paragraphs aloud.
💡 Discuss what worked well and how sequencing words helped make the process clear.

Objective:

Students will write a paragraph that combines both descriptive writing (explaining how something looks, feels, smells, etc.) and process writing (explaining how something is done).

Step 1: Choose a Topic

📌 Select a topic that allows both description and process explanation (e.g., baking cookies, making lemonade, setting up a picnic).
