Creating+Your+Recipe

Now it's time to create your own recipes!

 * 1) Choose a dish:
 * Talk with your families - you should choose something that you've helped make before or at least had before.
 * It's important to pick a food that you are familiar with so that it is easy to write.
 * It's okay to pick something that you don't have an actual recipe for and create it yourself!
 * You can select either an appetizer, entree (main dish), soup, salad, dessert, etc.

2. Write the recipe:
 * Look back to the list of what makes a recipe great! Remember the recipes that you examined.
 * You need to write it in your own words; if you are basing it off of a recipe that you already have - you need to rewrite it in your own voice and style!
 * Make sure to include all ingredients and the appropriate amounts!
 * Write very specific directions! Include every step!
 * You need to include a paragraph that explains why you chose your recipe.

3. Take it through the Writing Process:
 * You will revise with a partner using a Revision Checklist provided by your teacher.
 * Then you will need to rewrite your recipe.
 * Next, you will edit with a partner who will look for spelling, punctuation, grammar, and capitalization.
 * Then you will type your final draft.

4. Your Teacher will Publish your Recipe on this Website!
