Lesson details
Learning outcome
I can write the title, introduction and ingredients list of instructions for making a monster pizza.
Key learning points
- Instructions use a title to tell the reader what they are about.
- Instructions can use an introduction to capture the reader’s interest.
- Recipes can contain an ingredients list to tell the reader what they will need.
Keywords
Title - a name or heading given to a piece of writing
Introduction - a short section at the start of a piece of writing designed to tell the reader about the main text
Ingredients list - a list of things that are combined to make something, often food
Common misconception
Pupils may think that a recipe would not require an introduction.
Show pupils some examples of recipes that include introductions and let them analyse them. Teach pupils that an introduction can be effective in making the reader want to follow the instructions.
Teacher tip
You may want pupils to write their ingredients lists on mini whiteboards for Task A, Q2. This will help them when they come to write.
