Let's Cook Up Some Fun!

Introduction

Good morning, Super Chefs! 🍳👩‍🍳 Today, we are going to learn about procedural texts by creating our very own recipe! A procedural text is a type of writing that gives instructions on how to do something. And what better way to learn this than by cooking?

Hook the Class

Activity: Mystery Box

Before we start, let’s have some fun! I have a mystery box here. Inside, I have some ingredients. Let's see if you can guess what we’re going to make today!

Take out items like flour, sugar, chocolate chips, and a whisk one at a time. Ask students to guess what these ingredients might be used to make. Encourage guesses and ideas!

Discussion:

• Questions to Ask:
  • What do you think we can make with these ingredients?
  • Did you know that a recipe tells us how to make something?
  • What’s your favourite dish? How do you think it’s made?

Transition to the Lesson

Now that we’ve sparked some ideas, we’re going to learn how to write our very own recipe. We will use simple steps to make a delicious treat.

Today’s Recipe: Chocolate Chip Cookies 🍪

We’re going to learn how to write the recipe for chocolate chip cookies! By the end of our lesson, you’ll be able to follow and create a recipe of your own.

What You Will Need:

• A piece of paper
• A pencil or crayon

Let’s get started on our cooking adventure together! ### Ready, Set, Write!
