This week we will be learning about writing effective instructions . We will be working towards writing our own at the end of the week

Today we will begin the week by looking at what a good set of instructions should contain.

Read the powerpoint and watch the video (https://youtu.be/7bD2UbDiHQo) to look at what a set of instructions should contain.

Then today’s activity is sequencing the instructions in chronological order. That means putting them in the correct order. Download the worksheet. The photos are in the right order but the instructions aren’t. Re-write them in your books in the correct order. Use your most beautiful handwriting.

For each lesson you will only need some paper and a pencil to write with.

This is a short animated video introducing the basic facts about the Shang Dynasty which introduces the topic quite nicely.
