SUCCESS CRITERIA 
I have 3 sections? (#1 Goal  , #2 Requirements...materials, utensils, ingredients, etc. , #3 Steps )

I used great description to paint a picture of the goal in my reader’s mind!

My requirements list all the necessary materials, utensils, ingredients, etc.!

My steps are numbered and clearly explain what needs to be done and how to do it. 

I used transition words (First, Next, Then, Last) and/or verbs to start off my steps.

I used my toolkit to include really juicy word choice such as food adjectives to paint a picture in the reader’s mind!
​
​I edited my work using Our Proofreading Plan.
