Maya and Charlies collaborative how to make a double waka

This is our procedural text on how to make a double waka.
We learned that in procedural writing your instructions need to be really obvious. You need to write in second or third person and present tense. We found it difficult to write in second person and also our communication in writing this together wasn't always the best.

This week we have been learning about procedural text and for concept we have been building our own waka's and we took all that we learned about making waka's and put it all into a procedural text with photos.

Equipment:

Two flax stalks

Two kebab sticks

Cardboard

Hot glue gun

A pencil

Pick up two dry flax stalks and kebab sticks.

Think about where you want to put your sticks.

Glue your sticks on or in the stalk.

Next draw your sail and colour it in.

The next step is to glue our sail on the kebab sticks.

The last step is to leave the waka to dry then you are done.
