We were learning to make connections between what I've learnt, and what I already know. I showed this learning asset, because I watched a video based around popcorn, and used this new knowledge to help build my explanation text.
Everyone got to choose if we wanted to write an explanation text about how popcorn pops, or how to use scissors, and the parts on them. I choose popcorn, because I wanted to learn something new, as well as writing about something that appealed to me.
The first thing we needed to do was watch a video, as I've mentioned before, and store that new knowledge in our brain. Next we needed to develop our introduction to hook the reader in, and tell the main idea. After that we got to work on writing how a kernel pops, and all the stages involved. Finally, we made the conclusion, by talking about what we had learnt, and wrapped it all up.
