Procedural Writing: The Soup Exercise

Procedural Writing: The Soup Exercise

The Scenario

Your friend texts you the soup recipe on the next page (see attachment). The soup sounds great, but you have trouble following the recipe because text messages aren’t the best format for instructional writing. You have two jobs.

1 .Research online and find examples of recipes you consider easy-to-follow. Link to 5 example recipes and summarize what these recipes have in common (in terms of both format and content).

2 .Rewrite your friend’s soup recipe in a format that would make it easier to follow in the future. Imagine trying to follow the procedure as you write .Don’t worry about adding images or creating fancy layouts, but please do give it a descriptive title.
