How lettuce Grows - Explanation Writing



Reflection:
In this activity, we were learning to write a explanation on how to grow lettuces.  I used the word 'then' for  my time connector but when my class gave me some feedback, I changed the then's into other time connectors. Next time I should make the time connectors more interesting and more different.
