A simple way to teach it
Before the lesson
Give learners pages 1–2; keep the answer key on page 3 separate until they have compared answers.
- Read the sandwich instructions and notice base verbs without a stated subject.
- Complete A–C, forming negative instructions with don't and placing please naturally.
- Write three rules and practise safe classroom instructions such as opening a book or pointing.
Support and extension
Provide action pictures or mime. Extend by softening instructions with please; use imagined cooking situations rather than requiring knives or hot equipment.
Suggested approach. Adjust the pace and number of questions to suit your class.
