Task 1 - Read the rules below:
Use a clear title so the reader knows what the instructions will be about.
Begin with an opening that makes the reader want to read on. A good hook to use is a question.
In the opening make it clear why the reader should read the instructions.
List ingredients/equipment in order.
Make any instructions easy to follow.
Organise what has to be done in order, using numbers, letters or bullet points.
Simple drawings help the reader if sections are hard to explain in words.
Use imperative ('bossy') verbs, e.g. 'Throw the meat to the pet', to tell the reader what needs to be done.
Use 'time' connectives to organise the order, e.g. First, next, after that, etc.
Use 'you' to talk to the reader, e.g. 'You may now need to hide'.
End the instructions with any key points or reminders.
Now read through the Powerpoint (there is a pdf version if your device does not run Powerpoint) and see if you can spot examples of where these rules have been used - you could unline or highlight them, if you like.
