Welcome! 

- You work in pairs

- You need: one iPad, a notebook, one Think Student's Book

- One of you gives answers in the LessonUp

What recipe are you going to work on?

Make a word list!

On the next two slides you will see two recipes, one for brownies and one for pasta with tomato sauce. 

Is your recipe something to bake? Watch the brownie recipe

Is your recipe something to cook? Watch the pasta recipe

Watch the video with NO SOUND, but WITH SUBTITLES, and make a list of words that you need for YOUR RECIPE

Examples: garlic, mix, boil, tablespoon, frying pan

Recipe word list

Finish your list of words for your recipe. Write down at least 20 words

Think of the: 

- ingredients

- other things in the kitchen (pan, oven, spoon, etc.)

- verbs to say what you have to do (mix, fry, boil, etc.)

Grammar!

A / AN

a / an both mean 'een' in English. 

For example AN APPLE or A POTATO.

We use A for words that start with the SOUND of a 'medeklinker'

We use AN for words that start with the SOUND of a 'klinker' (a, e, i, o, u)

Here are some examples: 

A carrot; A strawberry; A pancake; A unicorn (sounds like /younicorn/)

AN apple pie; AN omelette; AN orange; AN hour (sounds like /our/)

Write down A or AN in front of the NOUNS on your word list.

Nouns are 'zelfstandig naamwoorden'. So, these are the ingredients and things in the kitchen on your word list. 

Can we count it?

There are a lot of nouns that we CAN count. 

For example, you can say one egg, two eggs, etc. 

There are also nouns that we CANNOT count, such as sugar, flour, butter, pasta, etc. We cannot say one sugar, two sugars. We would need to make clear how much we need by using measurements. 

For example, 500 grams of sugar, a teaspoon of salt.

Can we count it?

In questions and negative sentences, we use MANY in for nouns we can count and we use MUCH for nouns we cannot count. 

We also use these words after TOO. (There's too much salt/There's too many apples)

Look at exercise 5 on page 32 of your Think book for examples. 

Are the ingredients on your list countable or uncountable?

Coffee

Cinnamon

Pancakes

Apples

Water

Tomatoes

Some/any

These words both mean 'een beetje' or 'een paar'. 

We use SOME for plural countable and uncountable nouns. 

We use ANY in questions and in negative sentences.

For example: 

- We need to add in some onions. 

- We don't need any apples for this recipe.

back to your recipe!

- think of how many steps there are in your recipe

- start your first step with: FIRST, .... 

- start all next steps with NEXT, ... or THEN, ...

Use this formula for your steps: 

verb + amount (hoeveelheid) + ingredient/kitchen thing + ...
