The second graders have been demonstrating their knowledge of "how to" stories.
For this project, the students: brainstormed the steps in reading a story; read Kate Messner's book, How to Read a Story; revisited and edited their own version; and, finally illustrated a step in their story. You can read about the lessons leading up to the final project by visiting these blog posts:
How to Read a Story: Mentor Text : the story emerges
How to Read a Story: Mentor Text: Part Two: the story gets fine-tuned.
If you would like to see how this lesson emerged, I have put that information at the end. Here are their versions of How to Read a Story.
