Writing Instructions

In Term 4 here in RM 11 we learnt how to write instructions. We did lots of activities to learn how to write instructions, such as writing instructions for how to get from one place in the school to another, writing instructions for how to play Minecraft, sitting back to back and giving our buddies clear instructions to draw a simple drawing and writing instructions for how to catch a bus (linking with our inquiry topic of transport). In reading we read some instructions from some of the School Journal stories and made things like hacky sacks, paper cups, Icosahedrons, button bracelets and pop-up cards. These activities were so fun! When you write instructions you must remember to include a title, a list of equipment, sub-headings (equipment, method), numbers, verbs (doing words) and visual text (to help the reader). Here are some pictures for you to look at. By Jack, Brad and Anthony
