Students in Miss Caputo's Stage 1 Essential English class have begun their next unit this week - procedural writing. Students worked independently to follow a variety of written and visual instructions to create origami pieces and reflected on the quality of the instructions. 

Students then worked collaboratively in pairs or small groups to build Lego vehicles. Relying on the power of communication, one student was the 'builder' and the other was the 'instructor'. The builder could not speak, and the instructor could not point, touch or influence the builder in any way other than through descriptive language. 

Learning will be transferred in their next assessment task where they will be required to adapt the language conventions of an instructional text.
