Procedure Writing

We have started Procedure writing in Room 24.  To kick this off students got into small groups.  One student had to pretend they were a kindy kid and didn't know how to tie their shoe laces.  The other two students had to explain how to do it.  I instructed the 'kindy kids' that they were not to do anything unless they were told.  Students playing kindy kids found it difficult to forget what they already know and those giving instructions found it hard to break the task into small components. Once they had a go at this they then had to complete their own writing task about brushing teeth.  You can view these on open night.
