Discus these with a family member/ guardian and record these in your jotter. Task: Instructional Writing This week we will create a set of instructions for making a sandwich . Instructions should be: written in the present tense Use imperative (bossy) verbs telling the reader how to do something: put, place, leave, push, pull, cut, clean Use time connectives to order your instructions: first, then, next, now, finally Use clear descriptions. Plan each step by creating a sandwich of your own at home. You may want to ask a parent or sibling to help. Remember to include any resources you will need to carry out this task, for example bread, butter etc. Record your instructions using the template or in your ‘working from home’ jotter. Extension: Have a family member follow your instructions to see if they can successfully create your sandwich. Self-assess your work with a traffic light and a comment. Share your instructions on Microsoft teams if you would like to. Numeracy Mental Arithmetic Core Learning ICT Support We are learning to improve our problem solving skills.
