Making Popcorn

We made popcorn on Friday because we are going to writing instructions on Monday for making popcorn in a popcorn maker.  Here is the sucess criteria we came up with on Friday after looking at some models of procedural writing.
Success Criteria Procedural Writing - Making Popcorn

Write a goal/title e.g. How to Make Popcorn
List all the materials, ingredients, tools and equipment
Write the steps with doing words (verbs) at the beginning e.g. Add, Put, Turn, Pour, Wait
Number each step
Put the steps in the order they happen
Include all the steps needed
Use topic words (Popcorn words)
Add a picture to help the readers understand better
Try hard words in the margin
Make sure all capitals & full stops are confirmed
Check my work (proof-read)
