LESSON PREPARATION [before the lesson]
Topic: Menu Preparation ·
Concept: Students will make a lunch menu
Subject: English Grade: K-3
Primary Objective: Students will make a lunch menu. Students will list and label foods that are important to them and then explain to others why or why not they think the others should try these foods. Students will use English to communicate in social settings. Students will interact with other students in the areas of personal expression and enjoyment (sharing social and cultural traditions and values).
Classroom Diversity and Differentiated Instruction: Some student s will need help writing and cutting out their papers. We will have assistants in the room to help those children. For the ones who have trouble with writing I will have the names of many food written on the chalkboard for them to copy. Also I will have several different menu option printed out and taped to the board.
Materials/Equipment: Construction Paper, Scissors, Glue, Markers
Magazines with pictures of food
