Lesson video

Hello everyone, it's Mr. Brown here with your English lesson for today.

And we are writing.

We are writing our instructions for how to make a monster pizza.

So have your imaginations ready, your creativity ready, and let's get started.

The outcome for today's lesson is I can write instructions for how to make a monster pizza.

Our key words we'll be using are ordering fronted aerials, instructions and imperative verbs.

Let's say those together.

My turn, then your term, ordering fronted adverbials.

Very good, instructions.

And finally imperative verbs.

Perfect.

Well done.

So we will start today's lesson by preparing to write and then move on to writing instructions.

Instructions for making something to eat are called a recipe.

The different parts of a recipe look like this.

You have a title, introduction, ingredients list, and instructions and in today's lesson, we will be writing the instructions.

Let's check our understanding.

The instructions come after a title, introduction and ingredients list in a recipe.

Is that true or is that false? Think about the order.

Is it true that instructions come after a title, introduction, and ingredients list in a recipe? Pause the video and decide whether that's true or false now.

(no audio) Welcome back everyone.

Let's see if you were right.

Instructions, do they come after a title, introduction and ingredients list in a recipe? Yes, they do.

It is true.

Well done if you said true.

Now we are writing instructions for how to make a monster pizza.

A set of instructions for making something that you eat is called a recipe.

Let's take a look at what we are aiming to write by reading a full set of instructions for making a monster pizza.

We're gonna look at a full recipe.

So we have a title, an introduction, an ingredients list.

Let's read through those.

The title is, "Monster Pizza Recipe." The introduction.

"Have you ever wanted to make a disgusting pizza that only monsters would want to eat? These instructions will tell you how to make the most hideous pizza ever.

Read on to learn how to make your very own monster pizza." And the ingredients are 300 grammes of spiderwebs, one teaspoon of alien eggs, 200 millilitres of dog drool and slime sauce.

Our title, our introduction, and an ingredients list.

These are all the things that come before the actual instructions, and here are some instructions.

Number one, "First, mix the slimy alien eggs with the pungent dog's drool in a large bowl and slowly knead together to make the dough." Number two, "Then roll the rotten dough into a flat circle." Number three, "After that, spread the stringy slime sauce on top." Number four, "Next, gently sprinkle the poisonous, which is warts and fragile mermaid scales on top of the pizza." And number five, "Finally carefully place the disgusting pizza into the oven and cook for 10 minutes." So that is what we are aiming for.

They are a set of instructions for making a monster pizza.

When writing it can be very helpful to use a plan to help guide you.

You may already have a plan for writing instructions on how to make a monster pizza, but if you do not, do not worry, you can use one that we will share with you.

Now, if you don't have a plan, you can use one that's already completed and provides these things.

So these are the things the plan will already have for you.

Ordering fronted adverbials, imperative verbs and adjectives and nouns to describe the ingredients.

And here is what that plan looks like.

So if you already have a plan, that's brilliant.

If not, you can use this one to help you with your writing.

You can see on the column on the left, we've got numbers one, two, three, four, and five, and some pictures to help guide us.

Then we have an ordering fronted adverbial column where you've got first, second, then next, finally.

An imperative verb column and a column at the end with adjectives and nouns.

So this will be the plan we'll be using in today's lesson.

Let's take a moment to check our instructions.

"Put these instructions for making a monster pizza in the correct order." So I've taken the numbers away, but you do have the ordering fronted adverbials to help you.

These instructions are in the wrong order.

Your job to read them and to reorder them.

If you want to, you could even write them out if you have the time.

So pause the video and reorder these instructions to put them in the correct order for making a monster pizza now.

(no audio) Welcome back everyone.

Let's see if you managed to do this.

Now a couple of the ordering fronted adverbials could help you.

Now the first one is first, of course, obviously first is gonna come first.

It's that ordering fronted adverbial, first.

That tells us that this will be the first one.

"First, mix the slimy alien eggs with the pungent dogs drool in a large bowl and slowly knead together to make the dough." Now number two, "Then roll the rotten dough into a flat circle." So once you have the dough, we need to flatten it out into a circle, the shape of a pizza.

Number three, "After that, spread the stringy slime sauce on top.

Next, gently sprinkle the poisonous, which is warts and fragile mermaid scales on top of the pizza." That was number four, and of course number five, the last one.

"Finally," it needs to be the one that starts with finally.

"Finally, carefully place the disgusting pizza into the oven and cook for 10 minutes." Well done if you manage to reorder these instructions for making a monster pizza correctly.

Well done.

Time for a practise task.

I would like you to say the first three instructions of your recipe out loud.

Use your plan to help guide you.

So you can see here's a plan of just the first three instructions.

You've got the imperative verbs.

You've got the order in fronted adverbials, adjectives and nouns, even numbers and pictures to help guide you.

Take as long as you need to.

This is your rehearsal time.

Saying it out loud.

So important before we write it.

So it's over to you.

Pause the video and say your first three instructions out loud now.

(no audio) Welcome back everyone.

Let's see if you managed to do this correctly.

Just before we have a look at an example though, check your sentences.

Think back, check, did you follow your plan? Did you include the ordering fronted adverbals? Did you use imperative verbs? If you didn't, absolutely no problem.

This is why we rehearse, stop the video, go back and have another go.

So I'll just give you a second if you need to do that.

(no audio) If not that means you're ready to move on and look at an example.

So, "First, mix the slimy alien eggs with a pungent dog drool in a large bowl and slowly knead together to make the dough," full stop.

I also noticed I use a comma after my ordering fronted adverbial.

I've done that for number two as well.

"Then comma, roll the rotten dough into a flat circle." Finally, we've got number three.

I shouldn't say finally because that's an ordering fronted adverbial in itself, isn't it? Number three, "After that, comma, spread the stringy slime sauce on top." And that's not the last one.

There would still be four and five, but we were just practising the first three.

Well done if you managed to do this task correctly.

Time to move on to writing instructions.

When we write, we always try and do these things.

We always try and plan and say each sentence before we write it.

That's why we've been rehearsing, saying our sentences out loud.

Use punctuation, but only where we know the rules.

Vary our sentence types that will keep the reader engaged.

Write letters neatly on the line in joined handwriting.

Very, very important, sound out words to spell them accurately and read our sentences out loud to check they make sense and edit to improve our writing if necessary.

Let's check your understanding on those.

Which of these do we always try and do when we're writing? Is it A, plan and say each sentence before we write it? B, write without full stops or C, write with as many capital letters as we can.

A, B, or C.

I would like you to pause the video and answer this question now.

(no audio) Welcome back everyone.

Let's see how you got on.

So which of these do we always try and do in writing? It is A, we always try and plan and say each sentence before we write it.

B, write without full stops.

I do not think so.

And C, write with as many capital letters as we can, but we want to use capital letters, but only where we need them, where there is a rule to tell us that we need one.

Okay, here is the success criteria for your writing today.

I have written a number and ordering fronted adverbial for each instruction.

That's the first thing you need to do.

I've written an imperative bossy verb for each instruction.

I have used adjectives before some nouns to add description.

Oh, and I have read my writing back to check for any mistakes.

So these are the things you need to do in your writing to be successful today.

Now it is my turn.

You will watch me write my instructions for how to make a monster pizza.

We will then work together to check using the success criteria to check my writing to see if I've completed each part of my success criteria.

And you'll do that with me.

So time for me to write.

Let's go for it, shall we? Okay, so you join me after I have already written my title, which is "Monster Pizza Recipe." I've written introduction and an ingredients list, and then today we're writing the instructions.

And you can see I've already made a start on my first instruction.

I have followed my success criteria where it said to write a number and an ordering fronted adverbial for each instruction.

I've done the number, one, and an ordering fronted aerial.

First, I think all of us will use first for our first instruction.

Mix the spider webs with the crusty dragon's toenails in a large bowl.

Now, I could put a full stop here, but I haven't said about using your hands to what's a good imperative verb, to knead the ingredients together to make the dough.

So I'm gonna keep this sentence going with adjoining word and that's gonna be, and.

So just to get my flow, I'm gonna go back to the beginning.

First mix the spider webs with the crusty dragon's toenails in a large bowl and knead together.

Let's go for knead.

And I know that's ea for that E sound and Knead together to make the, and it's dough, isn't it? And that's quite a tricky spelling.

The dough.

Okay, great.

Let me just check this sentence then.

First mix the spiderwebs with the crusty dragon's toenails in a large bowl and knead together to make the dough.

Great.

Capital letter.

Yes.

Full stop.

Yes.

Let me check my punctuation.

Ordering fronted adverbial.

Does it have a comma after it? Ah, no, it doesn't, don't worry.

We'll just edit that in.

Now it does.

Perfect.

Let me just check.

Ah, now interesting.

I've got a noun on this first line that doesn't have an adjective before it, can you spot it? Can you spot the noun that does not have an adjective describing it? Yeah, it's spiderwebs.

So I can give an adjective to describe them.

I'm just gonna put an adjective in here.

They are sticky spiderwebs.

Great.

First mix the sticky spiderwebs with the crusty dragon's toenails in a large bowl and knead together to make the dough.

Nice, I haven't, I've got a verb here with no adverb though.

How should we knead it together? Let's go for just slowly.

And slowly knead it together to make the dough, full stop.

Great.

Okay, so that's first instruction done.

Next instruction, so I need to put a number two in the margin.

Okay, so an ordering fronted adverbial, that can start number two, could be second, or I can use then after that, next, can't use finally, obviously that would be my last one.

I'm gonna go for, I'm gonna go for then, capital letter.

And I'm not going to make the same mistake this time and forget my comma.

There it is.

Then, okay, let me think about this.

Then roll the dough into a circle.

Then roll the, the something dough, the stinky dough.

The the rotten dough.

That's nice.

The disgusting.

Yeah.

Rotten.

I like that.

Rotten dough into a, what kind of circle is it? A pizza is a flat circle.

Great.

So then roll the rotten, rotten dough into a flat, F-L-A-T, flat circle and circle, I know the spelling of that.

I remember that.

Then roll the dough into a flat circle.

Capital letter.

Yes.

Full stop, no, put that in.

Good.

I've got my comma this time.

Great.

Okay, I'm ready to move on to number three.

So leave a line again.

Number three.

Okay, what are my choices? Could go for third, but if you've not done second for two, then maybe it would be a bit odd to just go into third.

So I'm gonna go for just after that.

Let me just put that in just while I remember and then I'll think about the rest of the sentence.

After that.

And I know what you're shouting.

I know you are thinking I'm gonna miss it.

Don't worry.

There's the comma after my ordering fronted adverbial.

After that, okay, so this is when we want to put the sauce on top.

So a verb to say, put the sauce on top.

Smear the sauce on top.

No.

Rub the sauce on top.

Spread the sauce on top.

Yeah, that works.

Spread the slime sauce on top.

Spread the slime sauce on top.

After that, spread the slime sauce on top.

After that, spread the slime sauce on top.

Okay, great.

Let me just check that one.

Capital letter, yes.

Full stop, no.

Got it now.

Spread the slime sauce on top.

Okay, lemme check my success criteria.

I have written a number of ordinary.

Yeah, I've got that imperative verb.

That would be spread, adjectives before some noun.

Okay, so slime sauce is a noun and it doesn't have an adjective before it.

So let's put that in.

And you can do it on top or below, depends on where you've got room.

I've got a bit of room below.

I know I'm not gonna be adding any more on this line, so this would be a good spot to do it.

After that, spread the something slime sauce.

The slimy slimes.

No, that clashes with slime sauce, doesn't it? The, ooh, I've got a good one.

Let's talk about how it looks.

The glowing slime sauce.

Yeah, that's a bit different.

Okay, after that, spread the glowing slime sauce on top.

Good, I like it.

Okay, now I'm just gonna pause for a second and I want you to help me.

I want you to help me check my success criteria.

So I have written a number and ordering fronted adverbial for each instruction.

Number, ordering fronted adverbial.

Number, ordering fronted adverbial.

Number, ordering fronted adverbial with a comma after each.

Good.

So I'm happy to tick off that first one.

Number two on my success criteria or the second thing.

I have written an imperative bossy verb for each instruction.

We've got mix, we've got roll, we've got spread, we can tick, well done.

Adjectives before some nouns.

Now it doesn't say all nouns, but I did add sticky for spiderwebs.

Crusty was already there, dragon's toenail, large bowl, rotten dough, flat circle, glowing slime sauce.

Wow, I can definitely tick that off.

And I've read my writing back to check for any mistakes.

Now, you might have noticed I was constantly reading my writing back.

after every sentence I read it back sometimes in a longer instruction.

Like this first one, I stopped midway through, read it back and checked.

But I never like to tick this off until the very end, until I've done it consistently and I've got two more instructions to do.

So once I've written those two, if I think I did it for every single instruction, then I will tick this.

Okay, that is me for now.

I'm gonna pause here and you can rejoin me.

Thank you for your help checking the success criteria.

Thank you for your help with editing.

I think it's time that you had a go at writing your instructions.

Welcome back.

I thoroughly enjoyed showing my writing process to you there and for going through the success criteria and your help with that too, well done.

Now it's your term.

You are going to write your instructions for making a monster pizza.

Use the success criteria and your plan to help guide your writing.

So here's the success criteria.

Remember, if you can achieve each part of the success criteria, you will have written excellent instructions.

That's what we're aiming for.

Now, just before I hand over, I want to show you the plan again.

So if you need to, you can pause the video and make any notes from this plan to help prepare you.

Or you may have your own plan.

So I'll just give you a second if you need to do that now.

Okay, I think it is now your turn.

So you're going to pause the video and you're going to write your instructions for making a monster pizza using this success criteria.

And you're going to do it now.

(no audio) Welcome back everyone.

Congratulations.

You have written your own instructions for making a monster pizza.

You've used the success criteria and this plan.

So well done.

Just take a minute now to read your writing back, to check it makes sense, and to edit any punctuation errors.

Always important that we stop at the end, read our writing back, edit and check.

When you've done that, you can tick each box in your success criteria.

Hopefully you've achieved everything by now.

If you haven't, that's absolutely fine.

You go back and you edit what is missing so that you can tick every box.

So read your writing back, check for punctuation errors.

Check your success criteria, pause the video.

Do that now.

(no audio) Welcome back everyone.

Let's have a look and see how you got on.

Here is an example.

"Instructions.

First, mix the sticky spiderwebs with the crusty dragon toenails in a large bowl and slowly knead together to make the dough.

Then roll the rotten dough into a flat circle.

After that, spread the glowing slime sauce on top.

Next, gently sprinkle the toxic ogre skin and mouldy rat tails on top of the pizza.

Finally, carefully place the revolting pizza into the oven and cook for 10 minutes." And you can see I have my ordering fronted adverbials, first, next, after that, they've got commas after them.

I have my imperative verbs, mix, roll, spread, sprinkle, place.

I've got adjectives, sticky, rotten, glowing.

So I know I have used numbers and ordering fronted adverbials.

I've got my imperative verbs, adjectives before some nouns.

And I have read my writing back to check for any mistakes, a full success criteria to go with my full set of instructions.

Well done if you've done the same.

Let's summarise our learning today.

Instructions, use numbers and ordering fronted adverbials to add order and sequence.

Instructions contain imperative verbs.

Instructions can contain adjectives to describe the nouns.

Well done.

I will see you again very soon.
