English 

Main Activity

Today you are going to write a first draft of your own set of instructions on how to make a Norman helmet. Make sure you go through step by step giving precise instructions. Use imperative verbs – remember these are the bossy verbs – put, take, draw, cut, get to tell the reader what to do. Remember to use prepositional phrases to help the reader know what to do – eg on the card, above the line, under the handle. Fronted adverbials will make your writing more interesting and precise, for example: Carefully, cut out the shield.

Once you have finished, check the toolkit below to make sure you have included everything in the success criteria. You need to edit your writing – check your spellings, check your handwriting – is it neat and are all your letters formed correctly, have you used capital letters and full stops correctly? Do your instructions make sense and are they in the right order? Have you included everything in the toolkit?

When you have done this, upload your instructions on to Dojo – you may need to use more than one photo depending on how much you have written.
