Writing

In writing we have been writing procedural pieces.  Procedural writing is where you write instructions for something like a recipe.  We had to write a crazy recipe and I chose a mashed potato cake.  This is my recipe

Ingredients:
Potatoes- 3
Water- 900 mL
Food colouring- any colour and one or two drops
Skittles- as many as you want
Caster sugar- ¼ of a cup
Butter, milk (optional) if you want butter and milk you will need 70 grams of butter and ½ a cup of milk

Something to mash your potatoes with- masher
Something to mix your food colouring with- a spoon or whisk
