Make a Restaurant Camp
« Reply #100 on: August 19, 2011, 01:04:04 pm »
K so we made a restaurant. I only had 4 days, 80 minute classes and the last 20 minutes we watched Ratatouille from the BOE and did the handout.

Day1. First powerpoint~ discuss countries and foods from each one. Have students group up and decide what style of food they're going to have at their restaurant (Italian, Mexican, American) Then make a mind map of foods they already know. Tell them to go home and research foods from the country, finish mind maps tomorrow.

Day2. Finish mindmaps, then use the second powerpoint to discuss menus, 4 main parts. Tell them to come up with a name for their restaurant and make their menu. I made an example with 4 Apps, 4 Mains, etc.

Day 3. Use the links to show the kids various commercials. I discussed with them the main 5 things the commercials had 1. Happy people 2. the food 3. prices 4. humour (burger king) and 5. famous people (Pizza Hut ads, Korean (Bi, Rain) and American (Jessica) Then tell the kids to write a script and come up with a commercial. Helps if you have colouring stuff cuz they'll want to "make food" I filmed my commercials on this day cuz i only had 4 days but you can stretch it out.

Last Day~ Show the commercials to the kids. woot.

We made pizza, using the usual ham, cheese and pineapple etc. The school doesn't have enough small ovens so we cooked the pizza in an electric frypan. We used mandu pastry as the base - you can get it at the supermarket and it is cheap, it gets crispy too.

We added to the activity by making a crossword and a wordfind at www.eslactivities.com

I like this idea!  I had my students design a restaurant today in camp.  I really would like for them to try the commercial.  That sounds like it would be fun and allow some creativity.  Any specifics on how to structure the commercial activity?

Camp Cooking - Recipes and Teaching Materials
« Reply #103 on: August 29, 2011, 10:49:43 am »
This camp was designed for 3rd and 4th graders. It was a week long, for 2 hours each day, and we did 2 recipes almost every day. I had a co-teacher helping with the cooking, but I taught the class completely in English (no co-teacher translations). The kids learned the English sections pretty well.

If you are interested in using this camp, I'd suggest only using 1 recipe a day (especially if you haven't done many cooking classes with your kids). I finished on time every day, but I had to hurry and I've taught cooking classes at school several times before. The recipes were generally great successes. Some kids didn't like mayo though, so a few had a little difficulty on day 2 (Let's go on a Picnic). I confess we have an oven in our English department (I don't know why, but I took advantage of it:)) However, there are a few, non-cook recipes in here. Enough to stretch it the whole week if need. And the pizza cooking day could be replaced by fruit pizzas, (the cream cheese kind).

I didn't make chocolate chip cookies or Thumbprint cookies, because I've already cooked them with my after school classes (rice krispie treats, ants on a log,  and chocolate cake in a mug as well) . If you want the ppt and recipe though, let me know and I'll post them.

But in general, this camp went really well. I don't know how to make connect the dot worksheets, so I did a hodge podge version on ppt. They can be printed as is. 
 
As for cost, my co-teacher applied to the POE for a budjet. The total cost for this camp came to about $120. However, you can always charge 5,000 W a kid and have a class of about 22 students.

My other grades are jealous, and I believe that if it worked with a class of whom were 90% 3rd graders, that it will easily work for other grades as well.

In all good luck and enjoy. (I've posted by day)

I did some cooking recipes for my Summer Camp this year and it went over well.  Looking at these easy recipes makes me think I'm going to implement cooking again for my Winter Camp.  Thanks for the recipes!

Cooking Class: Cheese Cake
« Reply #110 on: October 28, 2011, 02:56:14 pm »
This is a simple recipe that can be used for all levels and doesn't need an oven. Some students may not have somethings like an electric hand mixer and something like a hot plate that you can plug into the wall to melt the butter, but as long as you have at least one you can share.

I recommend making a practice cake yourself before you do it in class. The topping has to be thick, if it is runny then the cake won't set.

Always a favourite.  Try using some more exotic ingredients and challenge the students.  A tomato and basil sorbet works well
5 tomatoes
 120 ml lemon juice
 1 spoon of salt
 70 ml water
 70 gram sugar
 tomato puree
 chopped basil
 gelatin (to stabilize the air)

Brilliant!

I've made tacos, burgers, spaghetti, and deep-fried Mars bars with my middle-schoolers over the years, but it had never crossed my mind to make ice cream.

Looking forward to trying this out this winter.

Thanks.

Actually, this is a lesson in our 2nd Year Middle School text book.  We usually do it just before or after summer.  The entire lesson in the text book is focused on making ice-cream in a bag, with vocab and other activities based on that topic.  The core of the lesson is making the ice cream, which is split into about 10 steps.  I suppose some unlucky students will simply study it, and others (like mine) get to make it.

The key points from my textbook lesson are:
1) Use two small ziplok bags (put the milk inside one, then put it inside the second one)
2) Squeeze the excess air out of the small bags
3) Put the small bags into a large ziplok bag
4) Put the ice and salt in the large bag
5) Wrap the big bag in newspaper (for insulation)
6) Wrap the whole lot in an old t-shirt, grab the ends between two students, and shake it for about 10 minutes
7) When removing the small bags, wipe the outer bag (to remove the salty water) *before* opening the inner bag
8) Expect something to go wrong and a big mess to eventuate with maybe one group

Generally it worked out well.  Very few students had salt in their ice cream.  We used about 1 paper cup of milk (about 180 ml) which made enough ice cream for a team of 4 to get a taste.

I did this for my summer camp and it was a blast! :) One thing: my Co and I made a huge bag of our own, which came in handy when two of our kids got salt in their ice cream and another kid's ice cream never formed. But this was out of 20 kids so it's not bad. :)

Here are the materials I used for the camp! It includes a section on terminology along with making the ice cream itself.

NOTES:
- Make sure the kids know to close every bag SECURELY
- Shake it as hard as they can with no stops or pausing
- I recommend tasting your liquid ice cream before you shake away
- I explained everything beforehand before giving them their materials
- Gloves/towels are good because those bags get COLD so tell the kids the day before to bring something
- The ice will melt and create condensation so it has the potential to get messy
- All of this is worth it :)
