Module+6--Riding+a+Motorcycle+(or+other+vehicle)



**Activity:**
 In this activity, the student picks out a free vehicle at Yadni's Junkyard and learns how to drive it. In doing so, the student must skim and scan the contents of his/her inventory folders and also understand and use basic commands (imperative) to retrieve the vehicle from his/her inventory and ride it.

**How it meets the EAP 91 grammar goals: **
This activity is good for the start of the quarter when students are learning to use **imperative verbs**. The student can listen to the teacher's instructions,

e.g. "**Drag** the object from your inventory. **Right-click** on the box and **click** 'open.' **Click** 'ride.'"

The student can also skim and scan their commands such as "take", "open," "ride", "sit", "wear" and learn their meanings by directly experiencing the effects of clicking on these commands--they can learn by trial and error how to not "wear" their motorcycle, for example (as you will see in the video!).

Notes for Teachers:
It's up to you whether you want to guide the students through the process of driving their vehicle or whether you want to let them discover it through tiral and error. There are benefits to both ways; it depends on whether you'd prefer to emphasize listening comprehension of the imperative verbs or whether you'd rather emphasize reading comprehension. It would work equally well either way.
