Session 5

 Dear students, 

We are wrapping up Unit 2! Can you believe it?

• During this session, everything that you have learned will come together in task 5.1. You will create a Google Slide presentation to showcase how important it is to have a balanced diet. 

1. Choose a person (a family member, acquaintance, celebrity…) and create a personalized meal plan for 5 days. Include: 
1. A profile of the customer (gender, age, lifestyle information, dietary restrictions)
2. If there are dietary restrictions, draw a food pyramid. 
3. Create a table for the meal plan: 5 days a week, 3 meals + 1 snack per day (2o meals). 
4. Include a cell for physical activity. 
5. The last slide will be a short report (150 words max.) on how to have a healthy lifestyle.
6. You can repeat meals but the plan should include, at least, 10 different meals. You can make small changes by changing the type of meat, protein, nuts,...

Please, remember the focus is on being healthy, not on losing weight. 

The meal plan will be uploaded to Padlet (column #5). A rubric is uploaded to Google Classroom so you can see how your work will be assessed. 

• The last activity (5. 2) for today is an exit ticket. Please, twitter questions/takeaways for this unit. I will take both into account to prepare for our Unit 2 review before the exam.

Session 2

Dear students, 

• During activity 2.1, you will: 
• research in groups typical staple foods and ingredients of a given English-speaking country (not the usual ones!) 
• create a food pyramid on Google Slides by adding the pictures and the names of those items. 
• Then, you will download your slide and upload it to our Padlet (column #2) so everybody can see them. 
• During activity 2.2., you will: 

• practice the structure Would you rather eat…or..?/I’d rather eat…than, along with vocabulary related to likes and dislikes. 
• In pairs, create a “Would you rather eat...?” chart using this app and get the information from this website, adding any other foods they know. 
• Then, using the slide below, discuss the options by adding That’s disgusting!/That looks yummy!/Delicious!/I would never eat that!, etc. 
• Don't forget to upload the chart to Padlet!
• We will conduct a poll in class after this activity to choose “the most disgusting one” and “the one we want to try”. Please, refer to the slide to answer and vote.
• As an exit ticket, carry out activity 2. 3. You will fill in a multiple-choice questionnaire to review basic concepts learned during this session. Remember you can access this using Google Classroom.
