Relate with life stories it works, I know.

As a culinary instructor it is sometimes hard for students to understand why they are doing a particular thing. So telling them why sometimes is hard. BUt if you can relate the why with what you have done or seen in the "life of a kitchen" it helps put things in perspective it makes them want to do it. Culinary students hate baking. But if you explain why they are doing it, for instance the baker gets sick and you have to make the desserts it forces them to take another look at the why.
