Last week, in Spoken English class, I taught my students the Imperative tense. Go to sleep, brush your teeth, do you homework and so on. Then, I had them write a short list of the directions and commands their parents give them on a daily basis. I got a wide variety of responses- Stop hitting your sister! Eat your roti (bread)! Turn down the T.V.! To assess their understanding of the lesson, I concluded with a homework assignment. They were instructed to write a "How to" on a certain task- a recipe, how to make something or how to do something.
The following morning, my students arrived for class, eager to share their homework. One student wrote instructions on how to make a paper boat. Another students explained how to make the famous local sandwiches here. Below are instructions on how to make lemon juice. Dhaval, one of my most hard-working students gave detailed directions on how to make this popular local beverage. While he suggests serving it cold, it can also be served hot, to sooth a scratchy throat or assuage a cough. Enjoy the recipe!
