🔓 This is an unlocked sample!
Byrdseed.TV is open for new memberships through May 31st, 2024. Join today!
Objective
Students will write (and re-write) directions to build a simple toy.
Steps
- Groups of three get ten random toy bricks. They design a simple toy using them.
- Now, they write their first draft of directions to build the toy. They define terminology as needed.
- Next, they practice within their group and with another group of students in the class. They revise their directions to clear up confusion.
- Now, they practice with groups of younger students, take notes, and then revise again.
- Finally, they publish a final version of their directions.

"Byrdseed.TV has always been amazing but during the last year, you have been elevated to SUPERAMAZINGFANTASTIC status. You have saved my students from super boring lessons." ~ Heidi in California
"I just subscribed to Byrdseed.TV and am loving it -- though it is kind of scary addictive in a binge-watching kind of way (that, by the way, is a compliment)." ~ Elizabeth from Florida
