instruction writing

Yesterday our class did instruction writing

We started off with buddy's that were drawn out of a jar, then Mrs Cutler split the room so the person that was your buddy was on one side of the room and you were on the other side. Then Mrs Cutler  told one group  what they were doing outside and I was in this group. Our challenge was to design our very own monster and we had to make sure the other group didn't find out what our activity was. When we were told what our activity was Mrs Cutler took the other group out and told them what there task was and they had to make sure that we didn't find out what there activity was. Then the room was put to silence well we designed our creatures. Once we had done we had to write instructions on how to draw it. Now for this we need to be specific and write down description words that help them understand what they are drawing. When we had all finished our instructions, Mrs Cutler told us what each side of the room was drawing we did monsters and they did aliens. The next step was to swap your books with your buddy and read there instruction and after that we had to follow there instructions and draw there creature here's how me and my buddy did.

Today we did some more learning about instructions and our task was to write down instructions on how to tie your shoe laces. For this we need to explain each step carefully like if you said wrap one lace around the other how would they no when to stop wrapping the lace around so you would need to be more specific and include each and every little step.
