Room 10 are writing about instructions!

Goal/Introduction
Instructions are for helping other people know what they're going to do. We have written different instructions about lots of different things, for example - getting ready for school, how to read to self, how to brush your teeth, how to draw a body, how to make a paper dart, how to draw a dog, how to draw a cartoon character and how to make a braided bracelet.

Things you need to do
-You need a title
-You need to have a goal at the beginning saying what the aim is
-Materials/ingredients/things you need
-Steps you take.
-We have to number the steps so we know which order to go in.
-We need to write instructions with nouns, adjectives and present tense verbs.
-You need to use proper sentences with capital letters and full stops.
-You could have pictures to show what it will look like especially if you are writing instructions for drawing.
-If you are leaving instructions for a pet-sitter for example, you would need to give detailed instructions on how much food to feed them, and how many times a day, and how much water to give them, and how much time you walk them each day.
-You have to know a lot about the thing you are writing instructions about
