Today You Will: Write some instructions. Use the imperative. Sequence your writing. Proof read and correct writing for grammar and spelling. Sept 2012. Kindly contributed to www.skillsworkshop.org by Carrie Bray

Sequencing Vocabulary: Use words to show the order of things, e.g. firstly, secondly, then, next, now. Be consistent. If you have firstly, you will need secondly or then to follow. Use words to let the reader know that the instructions have finished. Can you think of an example? Sept 2012. Kindly contributed to www.skillsworkshop.org by Carrie Bray

Imperatives Compare these 2 sentences: We use imperatives when we want to give instructions. Use imperatives to give instructions. Sept 2012. Kindly contributed to www.skillsworkshop.org by Carrie Bray

Imperatives Imperatives can be in bullet points, numbered or in a list. They start with a verb, without “to” or a pronoun. Do not use them in formal writing, it will seem rude. Look out for them on signs and notices. Sept 2012. Kindly contributed to www.skillsworkshop.org by Carrie Bray

Over To You... Look at the provided instructions. What language features did you notice in the instructions? Using these features, have a go at writing some instructions for a piece of equipment you have used. When you have finished, swap instructions with a partner. Are they easy to read? Does the layout help you find the information you need? Sept 2012. Kindly contributed to www.skillsworkshop.org by Carrie Bray
