===**This lesson was designed to accommodate the needs of an SEI classroom, so it utilizes a lot of picture cues. Prior to the independent activity, the students will have made a paper model of an English muffin pizza,the independent assignment will be modeled, and the students will have an opportunity to ask questions. The students will be seated in predetermined, mixed ability groups. Each student will complete his or her own How-to, but may openly confer with the other students sitting at the table (ask three, before you ask me). A word bank with picture cues for the materials and necessary verbs will be provided. Students who have difficulty reading and writing will be provided with sentence starters. **===

===**As an extension to this activity, the students will use what they have learned to create a how-to about a subject of their choosing. The students will then create VoiceThreads, that will be posted on the teacher's website, to share their learning with their families. These VoiceThreads can also serve as resources for their classmates to learn how to do different activities or tasks. **===
