  1. I followed the lesson exactly as outlined on the lesson page beginning with a read-aloud of David Wiseniewski’s The Secret Knowledge of Grownups. We used the online interactive choices as a group. The students then used the Rules planning sheet. After drafting, we revised for ideas and voice, edited for conventions, and published our final drafts. The students were very creative, and many developed a humorous voice in their writing. Thanks for a great lesson.
