    I love this concept! I would start the Hamburger with the bread on the bottom; then add the meat and cheese; then the condiments; followed by the toppings i.e. lettuce, pickles and tomatoes, finally topped with a delicious sesame seed top bun. 😊
    And from that image,
    I would have my child write paragraphs written like that, a 5 finger “deluxe”hamburger.
    The concept is fantastic! I even have my grandson writing me a paragraph on making me a hamburger sandwich !❤❤❤❤❤

      ​@@Teacher-Val I'm teaching third grade. But this is the first time they learn English at school. In my country they start taking English in 3rd grade, which I think is wrong, but there's nothing we can do. The other problem is we are given a curriculum and we have to teach topics and contents too advanced for their level of English. And I only have one lesson each week. There's so much to teach them and so little time. They don't have much time to practice. It's frustrating if I think too much about all the obstacles. But I just try to include in every lesson the basics they need to learn first, like phonics, colors, etc. I had many ideas watching your videos. Thanks teacher, Val!

      I don't use books with activities. I write my own and turn them into ppts. :)))

    Paragraph writing means composition??

      No, it's not. A paragraph consists of a few sentences that express the same thought or idea. A composition is made up of a few paragraphs.

    How do you teach spelling??

      Teach phonics. Introduce letters and sounds, then teach them two-letter combinations like "ch", "sh", "oo," etc. After that, you can teach them to blend different sounds in a word together.
