Task 1
The first section in a set of instructions after the title is always
‘What you need’. This section contains a list of things the
person needs.
In a list, we use commas instead of saying ‘and’ all the
time. The comma goes after the first item in a list and
all the other items except the last one. We only use
‘and’ for the last item in a list.
milk, eggs, bread and pasta
Task 2
The second section is always the ‘what you do’ section. In this section, we use
time connectives to show the order in instructions.
Friday
WALT: Write instructions.
Big write – 30 mins. Remember to use: commas, connectives, WABBIT,
imperative verbs and an exclamation sentence.
