To start our new writing unit on instructions, Eagles looked at a variety of different recipes. We were able to identify some key features of the recipes and looked out for the imperative verbs. We answered the following questions:
Why does each recipe have a title?
How do you know what you will need for each recipe?
Why are the instructions in order?
Why are hints and tips useful?
What is the same about each recipe?
How has the author arranged the recipe?It was clear that the class really liked having pictures on the recipes so they knew what the end product would look like.
