Hi Everyone,
It is I, Manuel again. I was given a list of some activities for English Camp. Most of which are alright. I just need help on some ideas for teaching cooking and expressions. Anything would help.

For Junior High girls in Japan right? Do the students have access to the internet so they can get recipes? You pretty well have all the ingrediants that we would in Canada in the stores there so they should be able to make most popular dishes. In Greenland we used to write the recipe up on the board and discuss it line by line and the students would copy them into a binder. Recipes are written in a certain format and that is good to show them. Usually ingrediants come first so you can shop and then the instructions - mix, stir, braise, etc. We practiced the various actions as a TPR exercise and took pictures of one child for each action to post on above the board with the word in large letters underneath. We chose the student who did the action the best and they could always demonstrate when the time came to use it again. We made up a class recipe book as we cooked various items and of course, shared our product with various people in the school, inviting the principal and so on. We also made aprons with their names embroidered on them. They can also demonstrate their favourite dishes to you and you can write up the instructions as you see them make the dishes. I never did get the sushi to stick together or the gyosa as pretty as they could do it.
