Draw Each Step

Worksheet Description

The “Writing Directions” Sequenced Directions worksheet is a template for students to create their own set of instructions for a task or process of their choice. The worksheet provides a structured format with spaces to fill in the blanks for “First,” “Next,” “Then,” and “Finally,” allowing students to think critically about the order of steps needed to complete a task. Below the written instructions, there are four boxes where students can draw pictures that visually represent each step, linking their textual directions with corresponding illustrations.

This worksheet teaches students the essential skill of writing procedural text, which is useful for explaining how to do something. It reinforces the concept of sequencing, requiring students to logically order the steps of a process. The drawing section helps students understand the importance of visual aids in instructional writing and enhances their comprehension of the relationship between text and imagery. Additionally, this activity encourages critical thinking and planning, as students must decide on a task and determine the most effective way to communicate the process to others.
