Making popcorn

As an introduction to writing instructions, we made popcorn in Room 4 and then had a go at writing the instructions for another student to follow.  Luckily we were allowed to eat the delicious popped corn while we wrote our instructions.

The next day we had a go at following each other's instructions to make the popcorn and realised that we need to be really specific and include ALL of the steps.  For example, we need to remember to tell the reader to turn the popcorn maker on!  We also need to make sure we tell the reader details.  For example, we can't just say 'Put the kernals in' as this could mean 2 kernals or the whole packet!
