How to write a set of instructions

Friday 29 November 2024

Year 3 have planned, written and edited their writing this week – a set of instructions.

A set of instructions tells the reader how to do something.

They had the freedom to choose what they wanted to write their instructions for:

We needed to include bossy (imperative) verbs, time connectives and adverbs to help give detail the reader.

We also acted out each scenario to see what we might need and to generate ideas!

Here’s some of our writing.
