Children love spotting mistakes and silly things when reading! So I made an OVER THE TOP set of instructions on making buttered toast.
The children need to cross out the unnecessary words/devices/language included. To extend, you could get the children to write the edited set of instructions into their books.
My class really loved this activity - and it really gets the children to understand how to get to the point when writing instructions and not waffling on.
I have included answers too! Some may be debatable but that can be discussed as a class.
Some of the errors include:
- Alliteration (not in the title)
- Similes
- Rhyming
- Conflicting adverbs that do not match the imperative verb
- Fronted Adverbials that are not time conjunctions
- Adjectives
- Unnecessary information
