Oobleck Writing

After reading Bartholemew and the Oobleck, we made our own Oobleck out of corn starch, water, and food coloring. As the teacher was making it, the children were writing about each step on the organizer. We have been practicing paragraphs, so this is a perfect how-to paragraph.

Step 1: First, pour the corn starch into the bowl.
Step 2: Next, pour a little water in at a time until it makes a moist consistency and mix.
Step 3: Last, add a little food coloring.

After we wrote our rough draft out, we had an editing time and corrected mistakes. Last, I took my class to the computer lab to type out their paragraphs.
