Year 5 Electronics Day

To start off our English instruction writing topic we had an electronics day. This involved us bringing in an electronic device and its instruction manual. We then looked at each other’s devices using the instructions and had a go at following them.

This allowed us to identify the features of successful instructions in a practical fun way. Following this activity we had a go at rewriting one of devices instructions without looking at the original instructions, trying to include as many of the features we previously identified.

We then swapped devices and instructions and tried them out to see if they were written in a clear way.
