Mrs Crain's Procedural Writing Task for Room Three

At the end of last month to finish off procedural writing in class Room Three asked our learning network for suggestions of instructions that we could follow to complete a task. Mr Crain, a teacher from Iowa, USA went out of her way to help up. She produced a Google Slide about how to make a Transforming Star complete with each of the steps and a series of pictures that explained each step. Yesterday Room Three took up the challenge and spent a block following her instructions to complete the task. We used our prior knowledge as well because we had two students who have completed the task before. We used additional media too for the students who were having a bit of difficulty we found instructional videos to guide us through the process. Our students had a whole lot of fun and we able to evaluate the procedural writing from another teacher in another country and we enjoyed the challenge of the task. Thank you Mrs Crain.

Can you help Room Three with our Procedural/Instructional Writing?

In Room Three so far this Term we've been looking at procedural writing/instructional writing.   Our students have been choosing topics that they're familiar with and writing about them.   We've also chosen topics and then Google Translated them into other languages so that we had to look for structural and visual clues to work out the instructions.  

What we'd be incredibly keen for now is for instructions for tasks to complete that are outside of our comfort zone to finish off our unit.  

Is there something that is unique to your ares? Do you know of something not completed in rural Taranaki, in New Zealand that we might be able to replicate? Would we be able to follow a recipe, make an object or carry out a task that is 'different'? Do you have a game that we don't? Do you students have an activity that is different?

If you could please leave us a message or comment to us with a link to the information, or even better a post about it and we'll get onto it.

Quades Procedural Writing: Nut and Bolt in Turkish

In Room Three this term we've been looking at procedural/instructional writing and creating and viewing examples. We've created examples ourselves and then to do something different with the process we used Google Translator to translate the instructions into a different language - this meant that we couldn't know what all of the instructions meant that we had to use other techniques to work out what they meant. This is Quade's example, using Turkish.
