Procedural Writing - Sequencing

I am learning the importance of correctly sequencing instructions in a recipe.
We made Truffles but first we had to sequence the Method of the recipe, if we got it wrong ... our Truffles would be a disaster!

 

After alot of discussion we decided which order we thought things should go in.

Then it was time to test our Procedures by making the Truffles following the order we had decided on.

Ingredients

Measure butter and soften, do not melt! (20 seconds in the microwave).

Measure out 1/2 cup of coconut and 1 cup of icing sugar.

Sift the icing sugar so it has no lumps.

Measure out 1/2 a packet of plain biscuits and crush with a rolling pin.

Add in 3 tablespoons of orange juice.

Keep checking the recipe throughout - you don't want them to turn out wrong!

Mix everything together (it will take some muscle power).

Roll into small balls.

Roll in coconut.

Refridgerate for approximately an hour then enjoy.

Then it was time to reflect on the whole process with a focus on our Learning Intention.

 Did the Truffles turn out ok? How could we tell?

Does the sequence of the Method effect the outcome of the Truffles?

What happened or would happen if we did things in a different order?

Sign Language

This week is Sign Language Awareness Week. We had a taster course in our classroom taken by Jessica's Mum, Tui. Tui is deaf and always signs. She is very good and very fast. We learned lots of words and some sentences. Watch our movie and you will see some of the things we did. It was loads of fun and we can't wait to learn more.
