Introduction

In this blog I have prepared some extension activities to add up to the work done in class in the unit of 'Food'. 


I have posted several entries with diferent material to cover the four linguistic skills: speaking, listening, reading and writing. The order of the activities is as follows:


1. 'Word Search - Cooking Verbs' - In this activity students need to find the words and then write sentences with the words. The vocabulary should have been covered in class before students attempt this activity.


2. 'Gap Fill - How to Cook a Shepherd's Pie' - In this activity, students need to watch the video and then fill the gaps using the words in the box at the bottom. This listening and reading activity introduces a traditional English recipe. Students should have covered in class cultural aspects such as traditional food in the UK.


3. 'Sequencing - How to Roast a Chicken'. In this activity, students need to watch the video and then write the sentences in the right order. This listening, reading and writing activity introduces another traditional English recipe. 


4. 'Presentation about Food'. In this activity, students need to watch the videocast and then prepare a presentation answering the questions I ask. They have to talk for two minutes. This is a listening and speaking activity.



To complete this task, I have tried to use some of the tools seen in Unit 6 such as blogger, HotPotatoes, PuzzleMaker, TaskMagic and Podomatic. I have been successful using tools such as Blogger and PuzzleMaker. However, I have encountered some technical problems with the others, as I explain on the next post.
