Steel Town

Steel Town by Jonah Winter (Author) and Terry Widener (Illustrator) covers a day in a steel town…

At dawn, the workers get out of bed.
and take the stairs down Goat Hill Path
down to their jobs at the iron and steel mills.

Organization Mini-lesson
Primary/Intermediate: Ask students to write their own “beginning to end” school story. Have them begin with waking up to go to school and end with arriving home after school. Use the Sequence Chart graphic organizer to plan.

Conventions Mini-lesson
Primary/Intermediate: Ask students to check their punctuation. Does each sentence end with a period, a question mark or an exclamation mark?
