Writing the start of a set of instructions to make a sandwich
Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can write the start of a set of instructions including a title and a list of ingredients.
Key learning points
- Rehearsing what we want to write aloud helps us to hold the information in our head.
- Instructions start with a title, such as ‘How to make a sandwich’.
- Instructions often include a list of what you will need, in this case, ingredients.
- A list might be put into a sentence or written as listed objects on separate lines.
Keywords
Instruction - tells us how something should be done
Title - the name or heading of a piece of writing
List - a group of single things that are put together
Common misconception
Pupils may struggle to sequence their sequencing language.
Either provide a word bank of sequencing words 'First,', 'Then,' etc. or encourage children who struggle with this to only sequence using numbers.
Teacher tip
Provide pupils with a space on their writing frame to draw a picture to represent each instruction. Alternatively, include photos of the pupils making their sandwich in the previous lesson.
