What is a procedure?A procedure gives directions or instructions to help us ‘do, use or make something.’ A procedure in an informative text usually has:

• A goal or aim that clearly states what is to be done; this is often in the heading or title.

• A list of materials (what you need), often in order of use.

• A method — a series of ordered steps (instructions) that are often numbered.

There are ‘saying’ verbs – they represent talking. For example,– ‘tell’, ‘say’, ‘report’, ‘state’, ‘ask’, ‘whisper’,

‘yell’.

Verbs are words that show what is happening in a sentence.There are ‘doing’ verbs – they represent actions. For example, – ‘run’, ‘jump’, ‘somersault’, ‘swim’, ‘laugh’

There are ‘thinking or sensing’ verbs – they represent feeling and thinking. For example,– ‘think’, ‘hope’, ‘hate’, ‘love’, ‘like’, ‘saw’,

‘heard’.

Activity

Using the ‘Warthogs talk sheet’, work with your partner to create a dialogue for the story.

There can be talking, but it needs to be task orientated.

‘If you cannot do this, you will be separated and have to do it on their own.’
