TASK 3 - WWW LESSON PLAN

Due to the fact that I love to watch cooking shows on television (although I have no talent in cooking or even cook to save my life), I have chosen Jamie Oliver's website because of his superb skills in cooking cuisines, simple all the way to complicated dishes easily with no hassle. The recipes and dishes that are available in his website are explained in detail and I personally think that students will enjoy this lesson and produce excellent work and cooperation.


Yours truly,

Sep Irran bin Halid


LEVEL : Form 3 (Intermediate to Advanced)
TIME : 30 to 50 minutes
AIMS : To practice writing and extracting key information from texts from a website

STEP 5 : Instruct the students to locate the website and tell them to find their favourite recipe or food of their choice that can be found on the website.
STEP 6 : Distribute the worksheets to each student and instruct them to complete the task on the worksheets.
STEP 7 : Randomly choose a few students and call them to the front of the class to present the simple steps that they have extracted from their recipe of choice from the website. The students and teacher discuss the recipes and ingredients used to make d dishes.

FOLLOW UP ACTIVITY : With Internet access at home or anywhere available, students will make a flow chart of the steps of the cooking or baking process of their food or recipe of choice using pictures and simple instructions as guides. Homework will be presented in the following class.

  1. Maybe ask them too to try the recipe at home and have a potluck in class

  2. Seems like eating is the theme for your blog and everything that's in it :). Good choice of website as it is vibrant and definately sends a message that cooking is not just for girls anymore. The lesson is simple and easy to follow. Maybe too simple for advanced students. Add visual art to the worksheet to trigger students' ideas.

  6. i believe that this lesson plan is good as it is very authentic. the students do learn sequence connectors using recipes but is in the book and sometimes the recipe might not be correct. so with the exposition towards jamieoliver.com website, the students learn authentically and they can also try the recipes back at home.
    good lesson plan sep! interesting!
