Summary
Can you write directions so clear that a group of kids can put a toy together with no illustrations?
- 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.

"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
"I LOVE these videos. It's like having two teachers in my classroom." ~ Kristi in Ohio
