TRICKS OF THE TRADE Procedural Writing + Presentation Tips

How Can I Create Some Great Procedural Instructions For This Project??? Some Tips… #1 Choose a REALISTIC NEW SKILL! -How much time do you have? -What type of materials do you have available at home? - Are your parents/guardians willing to chip in some $ for materials? -Is your skill safe and approved by the adult in your family?

CHOOSE A REALISTIC/TIMELY SKILL… An example of an UNREALISTIC skill… BUILDING A GO-KART Can you finish it and create instructions in a few weeks while doing work for other classes? Money? Parts? Available at home? This is a great skill or goal to save for when you have more time. :)

CHOOSE A REALISTIC/TIMELY SKILL Examples of REALISTIC skills… Change the Oil on a Go-Kart Cook a Great Meal Bake a Dessert Snowboard/Skateboard Trick A Safe Magic Trick ***These can all be mastered in a few weeks, with little or no $$$, and time left over to create your instructions and presentation ***They have clear procedural steps too!

#2 IMAGINE YOUR AUDIENCE HAS NO PRIOR KNOWLEDGE Imagine they have NO CLUE about your skill or how to do it well. Put yourself in their shoes. Imagine the skill from their perspective. What little details do you need to make them aware of?

#3 TARGET YOUR TASKS Examine your skill Look up instructions or tutorials Break the skill down into simple/clear target tasks the audience can easily master

#4 BEGIN AT THE END! What does that mean??? At beginning of your presentation, show the audience an example of the finished product. Helps them VISUALIZE and get interested in what you’re going to show them. Could be a photo, short video clip, or you could bring the sample/example to class to show.

#5 USE COMMAND WORDS AND TOOLS IN YOUR INSTRUCTIONS Words that clearly show what needs to be done Unclear Instruction StepClear Instruction Step 50 ml of waterMeasure 50 ml of water and pour it into a mixing bowl Flour, milk and waterUse a whisk to gently mix the flour, milk and water together into a thick paste with no lumps Tools – Mixer, Hammer, Funnel, etc Adverbs – Gently, Quickly, etc Command Verbs – Pour, Fold, Cut, etc

#6 GET VISUAL! Show the audience visuals along the way. Add quick/easy photos, diagrams or video clips for each step Photos/Pictures/Diagrams Video

#7 GIVE THE AUDIENCE A TIP OR TWO Did you realize a way to make your skill easier while you were learning it? Share your new knowledge with the audience! Did one tool work better than another? Did you find a time saving strategy? Example: “I noticed that the plastic flipper worked much better than the metal one for flipping the eggs. I recommend you use it instead!” Example: “I noticed that if I had all of my tools ready before I started, it was much easier to paint the side of my house. I didn’t have to go back and forth to the brushes and paints from the garage, and it saved me time!”

#8 CHECK YOUR WRITTEN AND PRESENTATION WORK WHEN YOU THINK YOU ARE FINISHED Are your instructions clear? Will the audience understand? Will they be able to use your instructions to SUCCESSFULLY complete/master the skill? You may need to go back to your instructions and make a few edits. That’s ok!

NOW IT’S YOUR TURN! These tips can be found in your project booklet Using them will help people understand and make your presentation as fun as possible! Have fun and stay safe while you gain your new skill!
