Task 1

The first section in a set of instructions after the title is always

‘What you need’. This section contains a list of things the

person needs.

In a list, we use commas instead of saying ‘and’ all the

time. The comma goes after the first item in a list and

all the other items except the last one. We only use

‘and’ for the last item in a list.

milk, eggs, bread and pasta

Task 2

The second section is always the ‘what you do’ section. In this section, we use

time connectives to show the order in instructions.

Friday

Big write – 30 mins. Remember to use: commas, connectives, WABBIT,

imperative verbs and an exclamation sentence.
