How to make a sandwich (food vocabulary revision)

The aim of the lesson is to revise some food vocabulary and learn how to write a sandwich recipe or the steps in making a sandwich.

1. To introduce the topic of the lesson I decided to use realia and demonstrate how I make my favourite sandwich. I tried to elicit the food vocabulary from the students to make it easier for them to complete the activities that followed.

2. In the main part of the lesson the students watched a video with Mr.Bean when he makes a sandwich. ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jtqpuYvOfHY).
2.1 While watching the video they were given a handout and were expected to work in pairs. There were two activities on the handout - one true/false exercise and one with numbering the sentences in the correct order according to the video.

2.2 During the video I asked the students several questions to point out the answers on the handout.
2.3 When the video stopped I asked the students to take some time and complete the second exercise with their partner and once they finished we checked the answers together.






3. To make sure the students know how to write the steps to making a sandwich I used a nice, simple activity I found on the Internet. ( http://www.havefunteaching.com/worksheets/reading-worksheets/plot-worksheets/peanut-butter-jelly-sandwich-sequence-worksheet/) The students worked in pairs and their task was to arrange the sentences on the piece of paper in the correct order. The sentences described the steps we need to follow to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. We checked the sentences together and to make sure everyone got everything right we put the sentences on the board in the correct order. In the end the students were given a small handout to write the steps and the recipe for their favourite sandwich.
