A 3rd grade procedural writing worksheet. Students read a model how-to text for making a pinecone bird feeder and find its parts: a title that tells the goal, a list of materials, numbered steps that begin with action verbs, and sequence words such as first, next, then, after that, and finally. They put steps in order, add sequence words, make a vague step clear, and write how-to steps for something they know how to do.

How to Make a Pinecone Bird Feeder
What you need: a large pinecone, a piece of string about as long as your arm, a plastic knife, sunflower butter or peanut butter, birdseed, and a paper plate.
Steps:
1. First, tie the string tightly around the top of the pinecone.
2. Next, use the plastic knife to spread sunflower butter all over the pinecone.
3. Then pour birdseed onto the paper plate.
4. After that, roll the sticky pinecone in the birdseed until it is covered.
5. Finally, hang your feeder from a tree branch where you can watch it from a window.
Soon birds will come to visit your feeder!
Steps must be in the order the reader does them.
Choose from: First, Next, Then, Finally. Use each word once.
