Muffins

Fun activities such as baking, experiments and art are ways to encourage kids to write. In this activity, Mark baked muffins and later on made his own recipe. He was asked to distinguish materials and ingredients needed in making muffins. Mark also needed to retell the steps using signal words based on how he made the muffins.  The following written work is in its raw form.
