it's also a perfect project for using "es + adj + infinitivo" or "hay que +
infinitivo" and "se puede + infinitivo"

I would give them tons of examples of people talking about how to do something
(tying a bowtie, etc.). There must be lots on Youtube. I would hope to draw a
few of those command forms out as part of their vocab list. Then I would stand
back and see if they can get the IDEA across in their own Spanish, whether or
not they use commands (correctly or at all). Sounds like a fun project!

Subject: [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 qu? 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
