How to write a procedural text

Hello bloggers! Today I will be showing you how to write a procedural text. You have to be very specific, cause you'll end up mucking it up, so be specific and read between your lines. As you read through, you'll notice what I did, if you read carefully.

Step 1. Select a sport, activity, game, or something you would want to teach, for example I did culture games and wanted to teach Aussie rules. Create a new doc then pick some bossy verbs for the start of each step. Pick a title suitable enough for the subject you wanna teach, and write a quick explanation on how to play, or use something. 

Step 2. Write a goal on what you want to archive during the process, then write all the equipment you need, now start writing on how to play the game.

Step 3. Pick a game or a activity, then first start off with how many people you need and start writing with how to play or use the activity, Make sure your reading your lines carefully and not just writing step after step without going over it.

Step 4. Now that you've finished, you have to read it out loud, and use you procedural to see if it make sense, this is the best way to do it, to see if you actually told the readers how to do it the right way.

Step 5. Put some diagrams and photograph's in to show the readers the positioning of the equipment, or people. This will help the reader understand what you said.


Thank you for reading my blog, I hope you understand how to make a procedural now, and enjoy writing!  Blog you later!

Student led toolkits

STEM TOOLKITS

GOOGLE MAPS

Friday the 11th of June (Last Friday), we did toolkits based on STEM! If you don't know what STEM stands for, it stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, Maths. And if you don't know what toolkits are, it's a pair of presenters presenting how to use a so call app, or website. 

First the teachers picked some people to go to toolkits and present. The first toolkit I went to was Google maps. For that toolkit, I had to set a trip form Waikowhai Primary, to Wellington, to Christchurch and back. You could use any kind of transport to get to your destination, but I'm not sure about taking a plane. Next I went to Incredibox.


INCREDIBOX

If any of you bloggers know what it is, I hope you had a great time making music. Incredibox is place where you can make music, and unlock achievements. In Incredibox, you can make the right tunes, to unlock a short video that will play the sound of your creation, only a bit different. 

There are 8 different versions, but the bottom 4 is locked, so the top 4 versions, is all you can make music on. To play with Incredibox, drag the pictures on the bottom of your screen, up to the characters. Once you've done that, your character will make a sound related to the picture to the icon. The third toolkit I went to was Webcam Toy



WEBCAM TOY

In Webcam, you can take pictures with a variety of filters to choose from. You can take pictures with friends, relatives, and others. You can take funny pictures, serious pictures, maybe pictures no one can under stand. You can save and share your photos, you can print it out and put it up on the wall to commemorate a memory. 

Webcam Toy is very entertaining, you could add it to your chrome, and then it will be added to your camera! I really enjoyed my time with toolkits, I felt amazing after learning how to use the apps and websites. Blog you later!
