Lesson video

Hello, everyone.

I'm Miss Corbett, and welcome to today's lesson: Writing the start of a set of instructions to make a sandwich.

We are going to make sure that we have written a full set of instructions, but we must start with the title and our list of ingredients.

So for today's lesson, I need you to have your listening ears, your looking eyes, and your thinking brains.

It would also be great if you could have someone to talk to.

But as we will be writing today, as well as that, you will need somewhere comfortable to sit for writing, some lined paper, and something to write with.

It would also be great if you could have your success criteria for this lesson too.

Can you pause the video now to go and get those things? Off you go.

I think you are showing me that you're ready to get started.

And here is the outcome for today's lesson: I can write the start of a set of instructions including a title and a list of ingredients, and these keywords will help us.

Are you ready to repeat them after me? My turn, then your turn.

Instruction.

Title.

List.

Amazing job.

An instruction tells us how something should be done.

The title is the name or heading of a piece of writing.

And a list is a group of single things that are put together.

Let's get started with the first part of our lesson: Preparing to write.

You are going to start writing a set of instructions for how to make a sandwich.

When we write, we always try to use capital letters at the start of sentences and a full stop at the end.

We write our letters neatly on the line.

We use phonics to sound out and spell words.

And we remember the spellings of some common exception words.

As well as that, let's look at the success criteria for today's lesson: You will write a title, that's our keyword, to show what your instructions are for.

You will list each of your ingredients on a separate line.

You will use phonics to sound out and spell words.

Use a word bank for some words.

And read back your writing to make sure it make sense.

Let's have a look at a set of instructions.

Here are our instructions of how to make a cucumber sandwich.

I can see a title: How to make a cucumber sandwich.

I can see a list of ingredients.

It says: You will need: And then, on each new line, list a different ingredient.

Two slices of bread.

Cucumber.

A knife.

And here are our instructions.

In this lesson, you will write the title and list of ingredients.

And here they are again.

So have a look at them closely this time.

What do you notice about the start of the instructions? Can you tell the person nearby everything that you notice? Pause the video now.

Let's have a look at some of those features of the start of the instructions.

The title and heading, How to make a cucumber sandwich and You will need are underlined.

This is to make them stand out.

The ingredients are listed on separate lines.

This is so the reader can see each ingredient clearly.

And the title and list of ingredients do not need a capital letter because they aren't sentences.

So How to make a cucumber sandwich, we've started it with a capital letter, but it isn't a sentence.

And our list of ingredients are just individual items, so do not need a capital letter or a full stop.

So, can you remember why are titles and headings underlined? Is it A, it looks nice? B, it means the reader will shout it when they read it? Or C, it helps it to stand out to the reader? I'm going to give you five seconds to decide.

Five.

And zero.

Did you get it? Titles and headings help to stand out to the reader.

It does look nice.

It looks nice and neat, but that's not why they're underlined.

And we don't need to shout it, even if it's underlined, either.

Instructions start with a title.

Let's look at some examples so you can see which one you'd like to start with.

How to make a cucumber sandwich.

Or maybe, How to make a cheese sandwich.

How to make a salad sandwich.

Instructions to make a jam sandwich.

Steps to make a marmalade sandwich.

Making a cheese sandwich.

So, they're all quite similar but slightly different wording.

Have a think, because now it's your turn to decide which title you will use for your instructions.

Have a think and pause the video now and share.

Have you decided? Let's see some examples.

How to make a jam sandwich.

Steps to make a tasty cheese sandwich.

I like that one because they've added an adjective, tasty.

Making a tangy marmalade sandwich.

Again, a great description.

Keep your title in your head because next, you will write your list of ingredients.

You will start them with You will need, and if you'd like, you could underline it.

Two slices of bread.

Whatever filling you're going to choose: jam, cheese, marmalade, salad, cucumber.

And a knife.

You will need to decide on the type of bread and what your filling will be.

So, let's look at some examples of that.

You will need two slices of brown bread, marmalade, a knife.

You will need two slices of white bread, cheese, a knife.

So let me share my example what I'm going to write.

You will need two slices of white bread, jam, and a knife.

Now it's your turn to list your ingredients.

You will need two slices of hmm bread, hmm for your filling, a knife.

Pause the video and say that now.

Great job.

I think you're ready to rehearse the start of your instructions.

You need to include your title, your list of what you will need.

Use this example to help you.

How to make a cheese sandwich.

That's my title.

You will need two slices of brown bread, cheese, a knife.

Now it's your turn.

Say the start of your instruction out loud.

Pause the video now.

Great job.

Let's look at some examples.

Steps to make a fruity marmalade sandwich.

You will need two slices of white bread, marmalade, a knife.

Making a cucumber sandwich.

You will need two slices of brown bread, cucumber, and a knife.

I think we're ready to write the beginning of a set of instructions.

Let's remind ourselves of our success criteria for today's lesson: Write a title to show what your instructions are for.

List each of your ingredients on a separate line.

Use phonics strategies to sound out and spell words.

Use a word bank for some words.

And read back your writing to make sure it make sense.

One of our success criteria is to use phonics to sound out and spell words, but there are some words that are exception words or more difficult to spell.

So, for those, we can use a word bank.

Here's an example of a word bank that you can use today.

I'm going to read the words, and I'd like you to repeat them after me.

I'm going to go across, and then on each row.

Are you ready? Sandwich.

Bread.

Knife.

(gasps) The spelling of knife is particularly strange because I can see a silent letter K at the start.

Slices.

Two.

Four.

Cheese.

Marmalade.

Cucumber.

So, our word bank is really helpful to help us spell those words correctly.

What you're going to do now is help me to use the word bank to check which of these spellings is correct.

Because when I read them, I can see bread, bred, and bredd.

Which one is correct? Search for the word bread on the word bank.

Look for the word beginning with a B, and then check which one is correct.

Is it A, B, or C? Pause the video now.

Let's see if you got it.

I have found the word bread, and I can see that A is the correct spelling: B-R-E-A-D.

So, my e is being spelled with the letters E and A.

Now, let's try with a different word.

We are going to try and make sure that we have the correct spelling of the word knife.

Knife.

Now, remember I told you that in the word knife has a silent letter K at the start.

So, when you're looking in your word bank, you might want to search for the word beginning with the letter K and then check: is it A, B, or C? Pause the video now.

I found the word knife, and I can see it is spelled K-N-I-F-E, knife.

Great job.

We are going to now read some examples to check if they meet our success criteria.

Here is an example of a title: How to make a tasty cheese sandwich.

I have written a title to show what my ingredients are for.

I have used phonics to sound out and spell words such as how and make.

And I've used a word bank for some words, like cheese and sandwich.

And we have read it back to make sure it makes sense.

Here is a list of what we will need.

You will need two slices of brown bread, cheese, a knife.

Now, that's not a title, so it won't tick off that part of our success criteria.

But we have listed each of our ingredients on one line.

We have sounded out and spelled words using phonics, but we've also used our word bank for words like bread, and slices, and two, and knife.

And we have read it back together to make sure it makes sense.

I think I'm ready to write the beginning of my instructions.

I wonder if you are ready to write yours? I am ready to write.

I know I'm ready to write because I have my success criteria, I have my word bank, and I have my lined paper.

I'm going to get started.

I've already had a go at writing How to make a.

Now, I'm making a jam sandwich.

So, I'm going to write: How to make a sweet jam sandwich.

I'm going to sound out the word sweet.

S-w-ee-t.

Sweet.

How to make a sweet jam.

J-a-m.

Jam.

Now, sandwich.

Now, sandwich, I could have a go at sounding it out, but it's also on my word bank.

So, I'm going to have it above me and write it by copying it.

Sand-wich.

How to make a sweet jam sandwich.

Now, I'm going to start a new line by writing what I will need.

You will need.

So, I'm going to do a capital letter.

You.

I know that you is a common exception word.

Y-O-U spells you.

You will.

W-i-l.

Hmm, because it's at the end of the word, I know it's a double L.

You will need.

Can you sound that out with me? N-ee-d.

Need.

You will need.

Now, I know that when I'm writing instructions, and for my ingredients, I need to start a new line.

So, I will need.

You will need two slices of white bread.

Let me look at my word bank.

I could use 2, the number 2 or the word two.

I'm going to do the word two.

T-W-O.

Two.

Slices.

Now, slices is on there, because this letter C is making a s sound.

So, I'm going to write it: Two slices.

S-l-i-c, slices.

Two slices of.

I know how to spell of.

O-F spells of.

Two slices of white.

Now, I know that in white, the w is being made by a wh digraph.

Then it's a split I, wh-ite.

White.

Two slices of white bread.

B-r, my e is being made by two letters, d.

Two slices of white bread.

What else will I need? Jam.

I've already written jam, here.

J, on a new line, j-a-m, jam.

Two slices of white bread, jam.

And what do I need to cut my bread? A knife.

New line.

A knife is on my word bank.

K-N-I-F-E.

Now, I'm going to read back to check.

My title: How to make a sweet jam sandwich.

I've got my title.

A list of each of my ingredients on one line each.

I've used phonics to sound out and spell lots of words.

And I've used a word bank for some of my words.

And together, we have read it back.

Now, I'm going to get a ruler and underline my title and my heading.

But I think you're ready to get started with your writing.

Thank you for helping me with mine.

Now you've helped me write the start of my instructions, I think you're ready to write yours.

You are going to make sure you check your success criteria and use your word bank to help you.

I can't wait to see the start of your instructions.

Pause the video now.

What a brilliant job.

Here is an example.

Steps to make a savoury cheese sandwich.

What a great title.

You will need two slices of brown bread, cheese, a knife.

Those ingredients are listed on one line.

On separate lines.

We have used phonics to sound out and spell words, but we've also used our word bank for some words, which is really great.

I love to see that you've done that.

And we've read back our writing to make sure it make sense.

Can you now pause the video and double-check that you have met the steps on your success criteria? Pause the video now.

What a brilliant lesson.

We have learned that rehearsing what we want to write aloud, like our title and our steps, helps us to hold the information in our head.

We know that instructions start with a title, such as How to make a sandwich.

We also know that instructions often include a list of what you will need, which is in this case ingredients.

And a list might be put into a sentence or written as listed objects on separate lines, which is what we did.

Thank you for learning with me today, and I hope you're really proud of the start of your instructions.

I hope to see you again next time.

Bye!.
