    Mummification 

    Read the step by step guide about mummification. This is in the past tense! You need to change yours so it is in the present tense.  

    Instead of writing:  

    The body was put on a table, then washed and purified.  

    You would write:  

    First, put the body on the table, then wash and purify it.   

    Use the step by step guide to write your instructions in the present tense. Remember to include everything from the check list: https://www.j2e.com/st-johns-cofe-primary-school5/Mrs+S+Hughes/Features+of+instructions+check+list.pdf/
