They will go as follows: 1 – Hold the bread in one hand, the butter knife in another. 2 – Nick of a piece of butter with the butter knife, and butter one side of each piece of bread. 3 – Prepare skillet but turning the heat source to medium heat 4 – Spray the cooktop side of the skillet with pam. 5 – Place one piece of bread butter side down in the skillet, then stack a slice of cheese on top, then a slice of bread on top of that with the butter side up. 6 – Once the bread has browned on the bottom for about 1-2 minutes, use spatula to flip the entire sandwich over in skillet. 7 – Once the other side is browned, used the spatula to move the sandwich from the skillet to the plate. 8 – Use the butter knife to cut the sandwich into two triangles.

//6. Elicit Performance/Provide Feedback:// The students should be working while you demonstrate. The time at which you can walk around is while the sandwiches are browning. Allow your TA to keep an eye on your sandwich while it browns, so that you may help students. Encourage them if the color looks good and if their work station remains clean.
