Room 6 Procedural Writing

Alisha DeCourcy —

Room 6 had to follow some instructions to create an origami dog. We then had to write our own instructions for the same task. We had to make sure our instructions were specific enough so that someone else could follow them to create their own dog. Here are some of our instructions - Maybe you could give them a go at home?

How To Make An Origami Dog

Materials:

  • square piece of paper
  • coloured felt.

Steps

  1. Fold the paper in half again to make a smaller triangle.
  2. Unfold the piece of paper once so your triangle has a line through it.
  3. Fold the top tips down just off the paper to get ears.
  4. Fold the bottom up ¼ following the crease to get a nose.
  5. Add eyes and a nose detail then you're done!
