COOKING LESSONS (WITH FLOATING FOOD) FROM THE SPACE (CRISTINA SANZ)

 

Level: this activity is created for Primary students

Topic: with this activity I would introduce the topic of food.

Main Objectives:

Practise vocabulary about food.

Foster collaboration and group work

Promote a discussion, so that students improve their oral skills

Procedure:

1º I will give them a letter that says something like

" Good morning. I am writing this letter because we need your help. We live in a very difficult place, it never rains. We don’t have many things to eat or drink. We don’t have animals or crops. We can only eat fruit every two or three months because there aren’t any trees, we can’t cultivate fruits or vegetables, like tomatoes, strawberries, pears, spinach, lettuces...We survive just because people send us some food, like sandwiches, rice, peanut butter, biscuits.... We can’t use fire to heat things and of course we can't use a pan or an oven to cook our meals. Can you help us? Thanks"

2º students will be organised in groups, and they will have to guess where these people are, why they are having these problems and decide how they can help them.

3º Students will , in turns, explain their ideas to the rest of the class. After everybody has participate, the class will vote for the best ideas

4º Then, we will watch the video and discover everything
