Mini Lesson
We use lists every day — shopping lists, to-do lists, packing lists! A list is a fast and clear way to write down several things that belong together.
Part 1 — The Title
- Every list needs a title that tells the reader what the list is about.
- Example: Things to Pack for a Trip
- The title starts with a capital letter and goes at the top.
Part 2 — One item per line
- Write each item on its own line — never squash two items together.
- Each item starts with a capital letter.
- Example: Toothbrush / Pajamas / Favorite book
Part 3 — Logical order
- Think about the best order for your items.
- A shopping list might go aisle by aisle. A packing list might go from most important to least.
- Putting related items together makes the list easier to use.
💡
Ask yourself: "Does my list have a title? Is each item on its own line? Are the items in a sensible order?"
