During the first two weeks we have been working on the school’s vegetable garden. Firstly, we talked about all the products we had in our vegetable garden since we wanted to elaborate recipes based on the products that we can obtain from it in order to record a TV programme. Considering that we wanted our students to get familiarized with the different vegetables, we put the English names of each product next to it in the vegetable garden and we did different activities related with it (bingo, memory, hangman, etc.). After that, in groups, the students decided which recipe they wanted to cook and they started to work on it: they chose the ingredients, they wrote the different steps to cook it, they organize themselves to decide who brought each product, etc. Finally, they elaborate their own “chef hat” and they brought from home an apron.
Some days before recording the TV programme, each group prepared their recipe and when they were prepared we record it, and it was wonderful! Here you have some pictures if you want to have a look, they seemed real chefs, aren’t they?
