(20min)
Explain

that
children
will
be
creating
a

the
procedure
with
the
class
asking
what
steps
we
did
and
the
order
of
them,
use
the
smart
board
to
assist.
The
pasta
procedure
exercise
is
differentiated
into
three
levels
to
support
the
different
needs
and
readiness
levels
of
the
students.
Explain
each
level
to
the
specific
group
of
students
before
getting
them
to
work
individually
at
their
tables,
use
smart
board
or
handout
to
assist.
Level
1:
The
first
level
is
for
the
few
students
in
the
class
who
are
at
a
pre-writing
stage,
and
currently
use
visuals,
drawings
and
oral
language
to
to
represent
procedures.
The
activity
requires
them
to
sequence
the
procedure
pictures
in
order
under
the
correct
steps
and
write
the
first
word
(verb)
for
each
step.
This
is
learning
is
scaffolded
by
giving
them
the
list
of
verbs
with
the
matching
step
number
from
the
method.
Level
2:
This
level
is
for
the
majority
of
the
students
in
the
class,
this
is
the
same
as
level
one
but
has
been
extended
so
that
the
students
will
be
working
at
their
appropriate
level
of
challenge.
The
extension
requires
students
to
trace
most
of
the
steps
in
the
method
and
fill
in
the
missing
words
for
steps
three
and
five;
having
a
picture
of
the
word
next
to
the
space
scaffolds
this.
These
pictures
can
then
be
found
in
the
ingredients
list
with
name,
children
are
also
required
to
trace
the
ingredients
list.
Level
3:
This
level
was
created
to
extend
and
challenge
Charlies
procedural
writing
skills.
This
activity
requires
Charlie
to
order
and
write
the
procedure,
this
is
heavily
scaffolded
by
providing
him
with
the
sentences,
with
the
first
word
highlighted
in
green
to
support
him
in
sequencing
them
correctly.
He
is
then
also
required
to
trace
the
ingredients
list
and
match
and
sequence
the
pictures.
-
For
the
last
step
all
three
levels
will
have
children
draw
a
picture
of
them
eating
the
pasta.
