Bunny Bottom Cookie Challenge

In class today students were given a fun Easter recipe that was very hard to read. Together in groups, they worked out what ingredients, materials and steps were needed and added a picture of what they thought the outcome would be. The aim of this activity was for students to practice skimming and scanning for important information, highlighting key points in different colours, re-writing steps in order clearly and to recognise that in their own writing being too wordy can be confusing for the reader.

Below is the original recipe in case anyone would like to make the cookies for Easter.
