How to make a banana milkshake
After you have listened, discuss with a friend:
a)What did you like about this procedural text and what didn’t you like about it?
b)Did you notice the imperative verbs at the beginning of each sentence in the
method? Recall some of them.
c) In your opinion, what was the main message that came across?
d)Can you visualise how this procedural text would be written?
Work on your own:
• Write down the recipe as you think it will look using your drawings to guide you.
• Make sure you start with imperative or command verbs as you write each instruction.
• Use key headings that you think a recipe should have.
• Draw a picture of how you imagine the final banana milkshake to look like.
• When you have finished, ask your teacher to show you the original recipe and
compare yours with the original. Are they similar?
Listening and speaking: Relate your own easy recipe to your friend
Have you ever made something to eat that is really simple to make?
• Tell your friend how you did it
• Use imperative verbs as you recall the method you used (e.g. mix, beat, mash etc).
• Work with another pair. Relate what your friend told you to the new pair. You can
use words instead of numbers for the instructions (e.g. first, next, then etc.)
