Make your own Food Vlog

This period you are going to make a cooking/baking video log (vlog) from home. Hand in date is 4 April. For your vlog you need to select a recipe for which you need at least 5 ingredients.

You will receive a mark for this vlog.

The goals for this assignment are:

- You can introduce the dish you are going to prepare

- You can name all the ingredients and amounts

- You can describe all the steps

Requirements

-    Explain what you are going to make and why you chose it.
-    Show all the ingredients you have and say what they are.
-    Walk through all the steps in the recipe and make sure you say each step out loud.
-    Show what you’re doing – you really have to cook or bake something.
-    Show the end product .
-    Try to make it fun.

-    Make sure your video lasts 2-3 minutes if you’re doing it alone, or 3-4 minutes for two people.

-    Edit the video

-    Make sure you talk plenty of English in your vlog!

Pay attention!

- You are allowed to work together on this assignment with ONE other student from your class.

- Also make sure both of you have enough speaking time! 3-4 minutes total, in which you are both constantly speaking.

So, we don't want one of you to be the cook and the other to be the camera person.
