[ola] Thoughts on integrating grammar concepts (or not)

In my third-year classes, I'm considering a project in which students
answer the question, "¿En qué eres un expert@?" (What are you an expert
at?) where students choose a skill they have (anything from making brownies
to playing basketball to telling a joke), identify key steps, and
demonstrate or teach their classmates what they're good at.

My question is how to integrate grammar into the project. It would be a
great opportunity to discuss informal commands, but I could also encourage
them to write directions using phrases they know, like "Debes..."
"Necesitas..." or "Tienes que..." How would others approach the grammar
aspect of such a project? I want to make sure that the language of the
project is at their level.

Thanks in advance for your thoughts!

Emily
