Introduction: How to Do Something Simple: Make Tea

GOAL: Today your task is to plan out a very simple procedural text. You will provide the instructions and visual supports for someone to follow and complete a simple task.
You can choose from the following suggestions;
1. how to open, walk through and close a door,
2. how to download a phone app,
3. how to fill a bottle with water,
4. how to do a chin-up (or other simple exercise in gym),
5. suggest a simple task to Mr Haskett for approval.

Step 1: Planning

Before you are able to make your instructions you will need to plan!
1: go to OneNote or ask for hard copy
2: use the scaffold to breakdown each step
3: access the PowerPoint resource for info on the features of procedures for support
4: see Mr Haskett with your plan to get an iPad.

Step 2: Creating

Once you've finished your plan and collected an iPad you can start creating!
Remember:
Each step will need a visual to support your step by step instructions
Each step will include the language features and structure of a procedure (see PowerPoint resource to refresh)
You can access a 'how to' for using the instructables website on OneNote (how to add photos, how to add steps etc.)
