What is the purpose of this text?
recipe book.pdf
The purpose of this recipe is to inform readers how to make a frozen fruit cup.
As a class, read the list of ingredients and items in the recipe. Provide students with time to collect these, then ask students to sort items into 2 categories: ingredients and items.
Read through the rest of the recipe, step-by-step.
Discuss how, by following the steps in the recipe, the class could make frozen fruit cups to eat. Compare this to the purpose of reading a text that entertains, like Wombat Stew.
Draw, Talk, Write, Share
Model writing a sentence describing how the frozen fruit cup was made. For example:
I put kiwi fruit and orange juice in the cup and mixed it.
Too hard? Students draw and label the steps taken to follow the recipe.
