Doodlebug Instructions.

Today we were learning how to write a set of instructions.  To help us with our learning we made doodlebugs!  We went through the whole process of organising our equipment, measuring our ingredients and actually making the doodlebugs.  Then we wrote out a set of instructions or a recipe for making doodlebugs.  We had to think of a title, an opening sentence, a list of equipment, the method and a closing sentence directed at the reader.  It was quite a lot to remember and think about.  We all agreed that actually making the doodlebugs helped us write a much clearer set of instructions, of course it had nothing to do with the delicious aroma of chocolate in the classroom!  As our writing was so good we were able to take a doodlebug home to eat!  A great writing activity!
