Teaching and Assessment Principles |
Pre-Task:
Relate to the story of Little Red Riding Hood when she brings food to her
grandmother. Discuss with the pupils what food people sometimes take as
gifts to people in their families. Discuss the occasions at which people
give food as gifts. These words will be used in this task.
Since the task deals with accessing recipe sites, teachers can introduce
some of these words during their discussion of foods, gifts and celebrations:
category, course, meal, ingredients, cuisine, country, occasion, holiday,
site, fried egg, chocolate cake, shnitzel, dairy foods, drinks, quick food,
cakes, meat dishes, cheese, lemon, eggs, flour, chicken, breakfast, lunch,
dinner, birthday, family party |
- Pupils build on prior language and world knowledge.
|
Pre-Task:
Discuss the idea of children cooking and where they can find recipes for
simple dishes.
NB: Pupils should be told that cooking in the kitchen can be dangerous and
that an older person should accompany them. |
- Teachers are aware of and sensitive to pupils' diversity
and cater to it.
|
Pre-Task:
Since pupils will be accessing real online recipe sites during the course
of this task, they should be taught some of the recipe and food words that
they might need to find their way around these sites. These words are:
recipe, ingredients, course, category, meal, seasonal, cuisine, occasion,
keyword.
NB: Teachers should note that the terminology is not uniform on real recipe
sites. For example, if you're looking for recipes for "desserts", some sites
use the word "category" where other sites use "course". |
- Pupils have opportunities to develop independent reading habits.
|
Pupils
will enter a mock online recipe site where they can search for a recipe
in one of the following ways:ingredients, category/course, meal, ingredients,
cuisine/country, occasion/holiday.
Let's take pizza as an example. This is how pizza is categorized on the
Making Waves site:
Name of food: Pizza
Category: Quick food
Ingredients: Cheese
Meal: Lunch or dinner
Cuisine/country: Italian
Holiday/occasion: Family party
Pupils will be asked to do a quiz that familiarizes them with the structure
of the mock recipe site.
This activity familiarizes the pupils with the basic structure of a real
online recipe site. Pupils can print out the recipe they chose from the
mock recipe site and take it home. |
- Teachers encourage the development of a positive self-image by providing
success-oriented tasks and positive feedback.
- Teachers encourage pupils to use English outside the classroom.
- Materials are presented in a variety of text types and media, and
are used for different purposes.
|
Pupils
access real recipe sites and compare information about these sites. This
stage is perhaps the most important one in the task.
Pupils should realize that web sites have an information structure,
that there are different search methods in different sites, and that they
should be selective about what sites they use and how they use them. |
- Pupils have opportunities to learn by doing.
- Materials are appropriate to pupils' interests, experiences and knowledge.
- Tasks give real-world opportunities (or simulations) to apply or adapt
new knowledge.
|
| Pupils
will reflect on the various sites and choose the ones that were easiest
or hardest to search. |
- Pupils use language as a means for gaining information in other areas.
