A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Mime chopping and stirring and ask learners what is different about the actions.
- Have pairs identify clues that start with To and use them to find verbs first.
- Compare bake, boil and fry by asking what equipment or ingredients each action uses.
- Check the grid, then have learners give three steps for a simple dish.
Support and extension
For extra support, let learners mime a cooking action before they try to explain it in words.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
