Introduction
(5 minutes)- Ask the class to put their thumbs up if they have ever baked cookies or a cake.
- Engage the class in discussion by asking, "When you start reading the directions, does it ever say, 'Last, add the sugar. Next, crack the eggs. First, pour in the flour'?"
- Challenge students to think about why these directions are not correct.
- Invite a volunteer put the directions in the correct order. Ask the volunteer to explain how they know this is the correct order.
