 Dear students, 

Let's play! This last NearPod activity (Time to Climb) is part of our review before our end-of-unit test. 

I hope you all enjoy it. Let's see who climbs all the way to the top first!

I'm sure you will do beautifully on Unit 2 test. 

Remember that I'm always available to answer any questions or doubts you may have.

Session 4

 Dear students, 

Welcome to session 4!

During activity 4.1 you will become a reporter (interviewer) and an interviewee to talk about eating habits! Check NearPod (slide 9) to access the FlipGrid assessment. You will access FlipGrid using your Google Classroom account. 

In the first stage of this task, you will be paired up with a partner. One will interview the other first. 

The interviewee has to choose one dietary restrictions that we have learned so far (diabetes, celiac disease, dairy allergy, Muslim, vegetarian, vegan) and answer the interviewer accordingly. 

The interviewer will ask questions about your eating habits. Once he/she knows your restriction, the questions will be more specific. 

Once you are done, switch places: now the interviewer will answer questions!

The interviewer is the one recording and uploading their video. So, there will be two videos per pair of students. 

Remember to use: 

    - Adverbs of frequency: never, hardly ever, occasionally, usually, always). 

    - Vocabulary related to food groups, and dietary restrictions. 

    - Structures: How often do you..? I never...

    - Greetings: Good morning/afternoon sir/madam.

    - Appropriate questions and structures: May I ask you a question?; Thank you for your time; I             appreciate your help, etc. 

    - Connectors:  I see; I didn't know that; Really?; That's interesting, etc.

 Dear students, 

This is our first session of the unit Food and Nutrition. 

Today, we will discuss the difference between the concepts "food" and "nutrition".

  • During activity 1.1, you will:
    • be paired with a classmate to discuss possible answers to the questions posed by the teacher.
    • discuss your answers.
    • share the answers with the rest of the class using the collaborative boards on NearPod. 
  • During activity 1.2, you will:

  1. Watch an EdPuzzle video.
  2. Answer the questions in class, using this slide for support

  • During activity 1.3, you will work in groups of 3 and read a text on food and nutrition (Biology and Geology 3, pp. 26- 27. Richmond). 
    • Each member of the pair is assigned a section. 
    • All members with the same section gather together to summarize it and write down the most important parts. 
    • Everybody goes back to their group and share their information to create a mindmap. 
    • The mindmap will be saved as an image and uploaded to Padlet for everyone to see.
