Homework Directions for Writing a Recipe and Making a Presentation Choose a dish that is typical from your own country—something that would not be too expensive or complicated to make or take too long to prepare.
Write out a list of ingredients. Use American measurements. Be sure not to leave anything out.
Write the directions. Directions, for the most part, should be written as imperative sentences. Example: Mix ingredients well. Chop the onion. Add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients. Etc. Be sure to give detailed directions. Don’t leave any step out.
After writing the first draft of the ingredients and directions, check the draft for errors in grammar, spelling, omissions, etc.
Finally, when you are sure your recipe is complete and correct, type it on the computer in the same format that is given as an example. If you are writing the recipe, use the same format and be sure to print so that we can all read your handwriting.
You will need to make enough copies for everyone—about 13.
Prepare for your presentation (4 minutes maximum). Also prepare by reading over the ingredients and working on the pronunciation of words in your recipe since you will pass out your recipe and go over it with us, answering any questions we may have about ingredients or directions.
