How to make Hot Chocolate

We have been learning how to write procedures and today, we wrote about how to make hot chocolate!  In procedures, we need the title (usually 'How to...'), the materials, and the steps.  We need to remember to number the steps and make sure that we include details so that the person following the steps understand what to do.

You can practice writing procedures at home!
