Today we unpacked how to follow and write a set of instructions. To do this effectively your instructions need to be explicit and the steps to follow ordered. Each step begins with an instructional verb and should be written in a way that is easy to understand.
I enjoyed the roleplay because it was fun and easier for me when I’m instructing my partner on how to do something and what you need.
