Lead-In 2

Activating prior knowledge: Brain Storming

Words regarding recipes & food:

Lead-in 3: 

 Brain storming >> HOT questions > Integrative questions

 The activities in this phase are meant to get the learners to find the meaning of a text (or video in our case). In this phase, it is useful to ask questions that evoke feelings or opinions (Norrington-Davies, 2016).

Write down 3 ingredients you can find in a recipe:

Have you ever tried to follow a recipe?
If yes, how did it go?

Have you ever written a recipe?
If yes, what kind of recipe was it?

Focus 1 : Lexis

• Exposure to the verbs that might be used in recipes
• Ask them about collocated ingredients.

Focus 2: Lexis

Quiz about the lexis

Chop

Pour

Add

Stir

  milk

  water

 onion

 soup

 sugar

salt

Focus: Meaning & Lexis

Ramsy'5 minutes meal:

• The students have to do quiz about lexis and meaning regarding making a recipe.
• Exposure & practise imperative implicitly

What is the target audience of this video?

Uncovering Reason 

• The students distinguish the genre of the video
•  

Norrington-Davies (2016) says that teachers can help their learners focus on the meaning of a text (/video) by letting them identify the genre, writer, and reader. 

04:08

"........the dish with a squeeze of lemon!"

Discussing reason:

We will ask the learners to discuss the following questions in pairs. After discussing in pairs, they formulate their own rule about how cooking instructions (in a video or written recipe) should be given.

Allow learners to discuss the reasons they’ve phrased. Think of/try to phrase a reason most/all learners can agree on (Norrington-Davies, 2016).

• Notice the difference between these two sentences?

• Spread some butter!

• Who is this sentence addressed to?
• Should this person be mentioned in the sentence?
• What kind of word does the sentence begin with?
• What do you call this type of sentence?
• Where else can you find such sentences? (besides recipes)

• He spreads some butter.

• Is " he" present? What does this mean?
• When would you need to include a subject ("he") to the sentence?

How and when do we give instructions?
Try to formulate your own rule!

Replication

The learners produce output by writing their own recipe.

They may use the vocabulary and grammar (imperative) that we introduced to them. 

Norrington-Davies says the following about replication tasks: “These are meaningful, creative, and open-ended communicative activities in which learners recreate or reconstruct texts that are similar to the one they have analysed for meaning.” 

01:23

"Next, .............. your knife and finally slice garlic!

1. Slice
2. Put away
3. Take
4. Wash

Time to work in pairs! 15 m.

1. Choose a meal (simple or complex).
2. Write a recipe for this meal (incl. ingredients and instructions).
3. Finished? Scan the QR code & submit your recipe to the Padlet.

For help: ask a classmate or the teacher, or use Google.

When all of you have submitted a recipe, I will tell you who 

you should give feedback to. We will choose our Master 

Chef together.

Feedback loop

• The students share their poste in the Padlet
• Each group writes feedback & Rates the recipe of the other group
• Accordingly, we choose the Master Chef!

provide learners with feedback whilst referring back to the reasons they’ve phrased together (Norrington-Davies, 2016).

Feedback:

1. The title
2. The use of instructions
3. Text: Linking words: First of all, next, after that..
4.  Clear & tutorial
5. Delicious ;)
