PB & J Anyone?

Last week in reading class we were talking about the steps in a process so as a writing activity I had the class write the process for making a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.  Then on Thursday we tested out those steps by making a PB & J sandwich by following our partner's directions.  Some of the students successfully wrote the process but others had to eat the sandwich in two parts because their partner forgot to write the step - put the two slices of bread together.  Others had to get the peanut butter out with the knife but spread it with their fingers because their partner simply wrote - spread the peanut butter instead of - get the peanut butter out of the jar with a knife and then spread it.  Overall, it was a success and I think the students learned how specific you need to be when it comes to writing.
