Lesson video

Hello everyone, my name is Mr. Brown and I'm here with your English lesson for today.

And we are writing.

We are writing the title, the introduction, and the ingredients list for a monster pizza instructions, for instructions on how to make a monster pizza.

So title, introduction, and ingredients list today.

Lots to do.

Let's get started.

Outcome for today's lesson is I can write the title, introduction and ingredients list of instructions for making a monster pizza.

The key words we'll use are title, introduction, and ingredients list.

So let's say those together, my turn, then your turn.

Title.

Introduction.

Ingredients list.

Very good, well done.

We will start our lesson today by looking at preparing to write, and then we will move on to writing a title, introduction, and ingredients list.

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

The different parts of a recipe look like this.

You have a title, introduction, ingredients list, and the instructions themselves.

Now in this lesson we'll be writing the title, introduction and ingredients list.

A title.

Now, that tells the reader what they are going to be making.

For example, a monster pizza.

So the title is very important.

It tells the reader what they're going to be making, what the instructions are for.

An introduction, well that engages the reader and explains what the instructions are for a bit further.

So a bit more detail.

Ingredients list.

Now this lists all the individual things you will need to follow the recipe.

And then the instructions.

And that provides step by step guidance on what you need to do to make the recipe.

Now they will not be in this lesson, we are just focusing on title, introduction, and ingredients list.

So let's have a look at the title, introduction, and ingredients list.

We have our title at the top, Monster Pizza Recipe.

Then you have your introduction next and finally your ingredients list.

And we're going to look at each of these in detail now.

True or false, instructions do not contain a title? Is that true or is that false? Pause the video and answer this question now.

Welcome back, hey everyone.

Let's see if you were right.

Instructions do not contain a title, that is false.

They do contain a title, so make sure you include a title when you write your instructions.

The title tells the reader what the recipe is for.

The words in the title should all have capital letters, and it should be underlined with a ruler.

Here's an example, Monster Pizza Recipe.

And you can see it's underlined with a ruler, so a very straight underlining.

Now some recipes have an introduction after the title and before the ingredients list.

The purpose of an introduction is to engage the reader, give a brief overview of the recipe, and make the reader wants to read on and follow the instructions.

Your introduction for your monster pizza needs to ask the reader a question, say what the instructions are for, and give a command to read on.

So the question engages the reader.

We then say what the instructions are for, and then we command them to read the actual instructions themselves.

Let's have a look.

So we have our title and our introduction.

We know the introduction has a question to the reader.

So the question I've used is, have you ever wanted to make a disgusting pizza that only monsters would want to eat? That's my question.

I then have a sentence which outlines what the instructions are for, and that sentence is, these instructions will tell you how to make the most hideous pizza ever.

And then finally, I have a command to read on and my command is, read on to learn how to make your very own monster pizza.

Now a command at the end of your instruction, your introduction, sorry, will act as a great way to tell the reader to go on and follow the instructions.

A command is similar to an instruction and contains an imperative bossy verb.

But when you are writing a command, you should have the imperative verb at the start of the sentence to make it effective.

So it's almost even bossier than an an instruction because the command has an imperative verb at the very start.

Let's check your understanding of that.

Which of these is an effective command? Is it A, read on to learn how to make a delicious pizza? Is it B, finally, you can enjoy the cake with your friends, or is it C, cut the cake in half? And I'll give you a clue.

There may be more than one correct answer.

Which of these is an effective command, A, B, or C? Pause the video and decide now.

Welcome back everyone.

Let's see if you managed to find the correct answer or answers.

So well done if you said A and C, read on to learn how to make a delicious pizza and cut the cake in half.

Now, read and cut are the imperative verbs, they are bossy.

They command the reader to read on.

B, finally, you can enjoy the cake with your friends.

Well, that's an instruction.

It has you can enjoy the cake with your friends, enjoy being the imperative verb, but finally at the start is not an imperative verb.

So it's not a command.

Okay, time for a practise task.

So I'd like you to say the three sentences of your introduction for how to make a monster pizza out loud.

Try to include the following, a question to the reader to get them interested, starting with perhaps, "have you ever".

A sentence saying what the instructions are for.

So making a monster pizza, perhaps starting with, "these instructions will," and then a command telling the reader to read the instructions, "read on to," and then we say what they need to do.

So time for you to have a go.

Pause the video and say the three sentences of your instruction out loud.

Off you go.

Welcome back everyone.

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

So did you include a question to the reader to get them interested? A sentence saying what the instructions are for? So making a monster pizza.

And a command telling the reader to read the instructions? Now, if you didn't, absolutely fine.

This is why we're rehearsing and practising.

You can pause the video, go back and have another go.

So if you'd like to do that, you can now.

However, if you are confident that you did all of those, let's take a look at my example.

Have you ever wanted to make a disgusting pizza that only monsters would want to eat? That's my question to the reader.

These instructions will tell you how to make the most hideous pizza ever.

That's a sentence saying what the instructions are for.

Read on to learn how to make your very own monster pizza.

And there's my command.

Well done if you manage to say your introduction.

So we have a question, a sentence saying what the instructions are for and a command.

Ingredients.

Now ingredients are the individual things you need to combine together to make something.

They are mostly used when referring to making food.

Ingredients are written as a list and use bullet points to help make each one clear.

They may also have units of measurement to tell the reader how much of each ingredient to use.

For example, ingredients, 300 grammes of spiderwebs, one teaspoon of alien eggs, 200 millilitres of dogs drool, slime sauce.

Now that is an example of an ingredients list.

Let's have a look in a bit more detail because you might have noticed it says 300g.

That will be 300 grammes, one teaspoon, and 200 ml, that's millilitres.

So these are all examples of unit of measurement.

Each instruction that has one of these, you need to do a specific amount of that thing.

So 300 grammes of spiderwebs, no more, no less, 300 grammes.

One teaspoon of alien eggs, 200 millilitres of dogs drool.

Slime sauce.

Well that doesn't have a unit of measurement so you can use however much you wish for that part.

Now you might have noticed as well, there are bullet points next to each of these.

Bullet points are thick dots floating between the lines on a page, and they help us to see each ingredient as a separate thing.

True or false, ingredients are the individual things you need to combine together to make something? Is that true or is that false? Pause the video and decide now.

Welcome back everyone.

Let's see if you found the correct answer.

Ingredients are the individual things you need to combine together to make something is true.

Well done if you said true.

Time for a practise task, I would like you to say the ingredients that you will need for your monster pizza out loud.

Use your plan to help you.

Try to include a unit of measurement for at least one of your ingredients.

So here's an example of my plan.

If you do not have a plan, you can use this.

It's absolutely fine.

These are some of the adjectives and nouns for the ingredients that I will use in my pizza list.

So I've got slimy alien eggs, pungent dog drool, stringy slime sauce, poisonous witch's warts, and fragile mermaid tails.

Now you can include the adjective if you want to, but you do not have to in the ingredients list.

So you may just put alien eggs, dog drool, slime sauce.

Now of course, you can use units of measurement here for at least one of your ingredients.

That will be amazing if you can do it.

For example, 200 grammes of, one teaspoon of, two cups of, and it's completely up to you.

You've used your imagination to create this monster pizza.

So there's no right or wrong answer here in terms of your measurements.

Okay, it's over to you now.

Pause the video and say the ingredients that you will need for your monster pizza out loud now.

Welcome back everyone.

I am so intrigued to see your ingredients list.

Let's take a look, but just before we do, can I just ask you, did you use your plan or did you use my plan? Did that help to inspire you? And did you include at least one unit of measurement for one of your instructions? If you didn't, pause the video, go back, have another go, that's absolutely fine.

But if you did and you're confident, let's look as an example.

300 grammes of spiderwebs, one teaspoon of alien eggs, 200 millilitres of dog drawl, slime sauce, witch's warts, mermaid scales.

That's an example of my ingredients list.

Okay, it's time to move on to writing a title, introduction, and ingredients list.

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

Let's take a look.

We try and plan and say each sentence before writing it.

Use punctuation where we know the rules.

Vary our sentence types.

Write letters neatly on the line in joined handwriting, and sound out words to spell them accurately.

Of course, the last one is reading our sentences out loud to check they make sense and edit to improve our writing if necessary.

All of these are so important every single time that we write.

Let's check our understanding.

Which of these do we always try and do when we're writing? Is it A, write letters neatly on the line in joined handwriting? B, write simple sentences all the way through.

Or C, write with as many commas as we can.

Which of these do we always try and do when we're writing A, B, or C? Pause the video and decide for yourself now.

Welcome back everyone.

Let's see if you managed to find the right answer.

So which of these do we always try and do? Well done if you said A, we always try and write letters neatly on the line and in joined handwriting.

Really important that we're concentrating on what we're writing, but also how we're writing, in terms of our handwriting.

Well done if you said A.

Okay, big moment.

Here we go, here is the success criteria for your writing today.

I would like you to make sure that you have written and underlined your title.

You have written an introduction, which has included a question to the reader, a sentence telling the reader what the instructions are for and a command to read on.

And I have written my ingredients list with bullet points.

If you can do everything in your success criteria, you will have achieved today's objective, objective of writing a title, introduction, and ingredients list.

So let's have a look at my example.

I will have a go and then we will come back together and then we will look at the success criteria.

So my turn and then your turn with me looking at the success criteria and seeing what I've done.

So I will write my title and introduction first.

My title is going to be Monster Pizza Recipe.

That looks good, I know I've got a capital letter for each word in the title, but it's missing something.

A title needs capital letters for each word and ah, of course, underline with a ruler.

There it is, a nice straight underlining.

So I can now move on to the start of my introduction.

And I know, let me look at my success criteria.

A question to the reader starts this.

So, have you ever wanted to make a disgusting pizza that only monsters would want to eat, question mark.

Great, that's the question completed.

That's gonna engage the reader straight away.

Next thing is a sentence telling the reader what the instructions are for.

So these instructions are, or these instructions will.

So these instructions will tell you how to make the most hideous pizza ever.

The most hideous pizza you can ever imagine.

Really nice.

That's a very clear sentence that says that we're going to be making a hideous pizza.

Finally, a command to read on.

So there's my imperative verb.

Read on to learn how to make your very own monster pizza.

Full stop.

Looking pretty good.

Okay, let's use the success criteria.

Let's come together and check using our success criteria.

So I've written and underlined my title.

There's my title, capital letters for each word, and it's underlined.

So I can tick that.

I've written an introduction.

I have, but let's break it down.

A question to the reader.

Oh yeah.

Have you ever wanted to make a disgusting pizza that any monsters would want to eat? There's my question mark as well, so I can tick that.

A sentence telling the reader what the instructions are for.

Did I do this? These instructions will tell you how to make the most hideous pizza ever.

Yep, that's the one.

Got it.

And a command.

Is there a bossy imperative verb at the start of my sentence? Read, that is a bossy imperative verb.

Read on to learn how to make your very own monster pizza.

Exactly, I've done it.

Last thing in my success criteria says I have written my ingredients list.

Ah, I have not got to that yet, so that I cannot tick at the moment.

Okay, now it's your turn.

You are going to write the title as you've just seen, the introduction, as you've just seen, and your ingredients list, which I didn't model, but we've looked at that in this lesson and you know what to do.

You're going to write the title, introduction, and ingredients list for your instructions for making a monster pizza.

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

Here's the success criteria.

You have everything you need.

Take your time with this.

Remember your neat joint handwriting too.

Over to you now.

Pause the video and have a go at writing your title, introduction, and ingredients list for your monster pizza instructions now.

Welcome back.

Well done.

There was a lot to do there, wasn't there? A title, an introduction, and an ingredients list.

Let's see how you got on.

So before we look at an example, I would like you to read your writing back to check it makes sense and to edit any punctuation errors.

Even the best writers make the occasional punctuation error.

So we must check thoroughly.

Then I want you to tick each box when you have completed the success criteria.

So look through if there's anything that you haven't done, this is your time to edit and put it in so that you can tick it off.

I want you to pause the video and when we come back together, you should have everything ticked off in your success criteria and read back and checked and edited your writing.

Pause the video and have a go at that now.

Welcome back everyone.

Let's see how you got on.

So here's an example.

Monster Pizza Recipe.

And there is my underlining and every single word of the title's got a capital letter.

Here's my 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 there's my ingredients list, 300 grammes of spiderwebs, one teaspoon of alien eggs, 200 millilitres of dogs drool, slime sauce, witch's warts, and mermaid scales.

Well done if your title, introduction and ingredients list looked like mine.

Last, check to make sure that you've done everything.

We've read our writing back to check it makes sense.

We've ticked each box in our success criteria.

I'm just gonna take one moment to check mine.

I've written my title, yes I did.

I underlined it.

A question to the reader.

I engaged them with that question.

A sentence saying what the instructions were for, I did that and my command, I said read on, and then my ingredients list and it had bullet points.

So that's everything in my success criteria ticked off and complete.

Let's summarise the learning that we've done in today's lesson.

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

A title, introduction, and ingredients list can often be used with instructions.

An introduction can start with a question to the reader.

A command can often end an introduction by telling the reader to follow the instructions.

An ingredients list can be written using bullet points.

Excellent work today.

You've written a title, an introduction, and an ingredients list for your monster pizza instructions.

Well done and I will see you again very soon.
