Main Idea:The goal of the learning unit is to write down processes. The processes should be described as concretely as possible.The concept of step by step instructions can be well explained with an example on the blackboard.”Please explain to me the steps to wipe a board so that it is clean afterwards”.The teacher can spontaneously introduce mistakes if the description is not exact or incomplete. Examples of mistakes are wiping over the edge of the board, using a dry cloth, wiping the sides of the board, etc).Now the pupils should try to formulate a step-by-step instruction themselves.
