MMMMM Hamburgers!

Election day is here!  We took some time today to research the 2012 Presidential election.  Afterwards, we used a graphic organizer of a hamburger bun to write an expository of what we would do if we were elected President.  This hamburger graphic organizer really helps students organize their writing, even if it isn't the best drawing!  We brainstormed our "hook" and topic sentence in the top bun of our hamburger.  What would you do if you were elected President?  Then, we brainstormed some details on the board that we added to the "lettuce", "cheese", and "meat" part of the hamburger.  And finally, the bottom hamburger bun entails the ending!  Although the brainstorming and drafting process is always messy, students' writings turned out beautiful!
