This is a 5 page lesson for a class activity of cooking in the kitchen, with one page of homework, and teacher’s instructions.

It focuses on:

• Learning the verbs/nouns/prepositions to make good sentences about cooking.
  (First boil the noodles in the pot on the stove. / Next strain the noodles in the strainer.)
• Making and speaking about different food recipes.
  (Ingredients/Utensils/Step-by-step directions)
• Discussing your favorite foods and how to make them.
• Showing how to write a formal recipe.

It includes:

• 2 activities of target vocabulary (Teach before cooking in the kitchen).
• 4 Activities to practice speaking the target language (While cooking in the kitchen).
• 2 Activities for homework or as review in class (After cooking in the kitchen).
• Two pages of teacher’s instructions on how to execute the the cooking in the kitchen activity class.

Tips:

• Cooking in the kitchen activity class & other activity classes can be divided into 3 sections.
  (One class before to prepare / One class to do the activity / One class after to review)
• Bring utensils or picture cards of utensils to the before class will make it more interesting to learn the target vocabulary with.
• If you want to cook another food (not spaghetti) then you only have to change one page in the lesson package (It is very easy to change what food to cook in the activity).
