Following Pictorial Directions

    We reviewed following picture directions by reviewing our morning routine procedures. We practiced the routine, charted the steps, and took pictures for our anchor chart. Then I placed a picture recipe on the screen; the students followed the directions to create love bug cookies.

    We then added our pictures to our morning routine anchor chart; then we practiced our routine again. Then students followed pictorial directions to build structures with their partner using wooden blocks.

    We read Building a House. Then students wrote/drew picture directions for how to build a house.

 

Following Pictorial Directions

    We've been working on reading and following pictorial directions. We started by looking at examples of pictorial directions. I brought directions from some of Logan's toys and games. We also talked about how pictures help us understand what to do. Students were shown the steps to illustrate a snowman and then they created their own scribble art snowman.

    We also used the pictorial directions on the back of the Trouble game box to play the game Trouble together.

    I also created cars and building with the boys' Lego's. I took pictures of each step and printed them out. Then I handed out a baggie to each table that contained the pieces they needed and the pictorial directions. I think building with Lego's was the students' favorite lesson! I wish I had remember my camera that day.
