My School Promise

Each day I¡¯ll do my best,

And I won¡¯t do any less.

My work will always please me,

And I won¡¯t accept a mess.

I¡¯ll colour very carefully,

My writing will be neat.

And I will not be happy,

Until my papers are complete.

I¡¯ll always do my homework,

And try my best on every test.

I won¡¯t forget my promise, to do my very best

?

An instructional text is a non-fiction (factual) text that gives

step-by-step instructions on how to make or do something.

?

It usually follows a specific format.

?

The title tells you how to make/do something, so it will often contain the

?

Word How, e.g. How to make a pizza, How to build a sand castle, etc.

?

The materials needed are then listed under the following headings:

Ingredients/Requirements/What you will need.

?

The instructions are presented in sequence or in numbered steps,

under the heading Method/Instructions.

?

Imperatives (the command form of the verb) are used, for example:

Turn on the oven to 180 ¡ãC, Place the blocks together and glue, etc.

?

Diagrams with labels, pictures or videos are often included to help

the reader visualise what to do or to show the end product.
