Exploring Favorite Foods in Primary English Class
Unit 3 of the primary English textbook asks students to share their opinions about food and learn vocabulary related to different types
of cuisine. In this lesson plan, we will introduce some pedagogical activities that encourage children to talk about their favorite foods, practice basic sentence structures, and develop their
cognitive and social skills.
Objectives:
-To enable students to communicate in English about their favorite foods using simple phrases and expressions
-To enrich students' vocabulary and comprehension of food-related terms
-To foster students' empathy and tolerance towards different food preferences and cultural backgrounds
-To promote students' creativity and cooperation in designing and presenting their culinary creations
Materials:
-The textbook page with Unit 3 topic and vocabulary
- A list of food-related questions and prompts
-Pictures or samples of various foods (real or virtual)
-Recipe cards or templates for a food-making activity (optional)
-Feedback sheets for peer assessment (optional)
Procedure:
1.Warm-up: Food Flashcards
Start the lesson by showing some flashcards or images of different types of food, such as pizza, burger, sushi, noodles, chicken,
carrot, apple, ice cream, etc. Ask the students to guess or name the food and tell whether they like it or not. You can also use a 5-star rating system to gather their opinions.
2.Vocabulary Practice: Word Association
Using the vocabulary list from the textbook, ask the students to brainstorm words that are associated with food, such as taste, smell, texture, ingredients, utensils, cooking methods, etc. Write the
words on the board or on a mind map, and use them to elicit further examples from the students. You can also play a word chain game,
where each student has to say a new word that starts with the last letter of the previous word.
3.Speaking and Listening: Favorite Foods Interview
Pair up the students and give them some interview questions to ask each other, such as:
-What's your favorite food? Why do you like it?
-Have you ever tried any foreign food? Which one did you like the most?
-Do you prefer sweet or salty food? Hot or cold food? Spicy or mild food?
-How do you usually eat your favorite food? With whom do you share it?
Encourage the students to take turns asking and answering the questions, and to listen actively to their partner's answers. You
can also provide some sentence patterns for them to use, such as:
-My favorite food is ______. I like it because it tastes _______.
-I haven't tried ______ before, but I'm curious about it.
-I usually eat ______ for _______ meal. I share it with my _______.
4. Writing and Reading: Food Poem
As a group activity, ask the students to brainstorm some adjectives that describe different foods, such as yummy, juicy, crunchy, burnt, sticky, sour, etc. Then, model a simple poem structure, such as: (Title) My Favorite Food
(Line 1) (Food name) is _______ (adjective).
(Line 2) It smells like _______ (noun).
(Line 3) It feels _______ (adjective) in my mouth.
(Line 4) I could eat it _______ (number) times a day.
(Line 5) It reminds me of _______ (memory).
Have the students work in pairs or small groups to create their own food poems, using the vocabulary and sentence structures they have learned. You can provide some examples or scaffolding sentences to help them, such as:
-Pizza is cheesy and crispy.
-It smells like fresh-baked bread.
-It feels greasy and hot on my tongue.
-I could eat it every day for a week.
-It reminds me of my birthday party.
5. Project and Presentation: Food Face
This is a fun and creative art project that also involves some food decoration skills. Give each group a blank paper plate and some
edible materials, such as fruits, vegetables, sauces, cheese, bread, etc. Explain that they have to design a face or a character using
the food ingredients and present it to the class, explaining their choices and creativity. You can use some themes or challenges to
make it more engaging, such as:
-Make a healthy food face.
-Make a funny food face.
-Make a traditional food face from your own culture.
-Make a food face inspired by a famous person or character.
After the presentations, ask the students to give feedback to each other, using some criteria such as creativity, effort, taste,
variety, etc. You can also provide some reflective questions for
them to think about, such as:
-How did you feel about making and sharing your food faces?
-What did you learn from your classmates' presentations?
-Did you discover any new favorite foods or combinations today?
-How can you use English to talk about food in your daily life? Assessment:
The students' performance can be assessed through various means,
such as observation, participation, oral and written tasks, and peer feedback. You can use a rubric or a checklist that includes the learning objectives and some criteria for success, such as fluency, accuracy, vocabulary range, coherence, pronunciation, creativity, cooperation, etc.
Conclusion:
This lesson plan offers a variety of activities that cater to
different learning styles and language skills. By exploring the
topic of favorite foods, students can enhance their communicative competence in English, broaden their cultural awareness, and develop their artistic and culinary abilities. Through collaborative and reflective tasks, students can also experience a sense of belonging and achievement in the classroom. The teacher's role is to
facilitate and scaffold the learning process, while encouraging and guiding the students to express themselves and learn from each other.。
