World Food Lesson

[Koreachess]

This is my first contribution to the site, so I hope people find it useful.  The lesson has some food and restuarant vocab.  It also discusses what kinds of foods people eat in countries like Japan, Singapore, Mexico, Italy, etc.  After the lecture I had an activity where the students make a poster for their own restuarant where they have to design a menu with differnt food choices and present it to the class.

I have a question. Why do you have Flan listed as a Mexican food?  Flan may be in Mexican cuisine, but it originates from Europe and is a dish, of several distinct varieties, of several European countries.

I am having trouble opening the world food high ppt as anything but a read only file. Does anyone know how to solve this?

Because I wanted to have something that was not similar to tacos or fajitas, and it's on several Mexican places menus that I've been to before, so why not.  If you want to use it feel free to change that slide.

Cool. Didn't change the slide. Was just curious about the choice to put it there.

I haven't shared in so long and I have been downloading like crazy...so I made my own revision of the World Food Lesson

I decided to add a Golden Bell theme to it to make it more interactive

But props to the creator!

Thanks so much for this.  The original PPT was great, but I personally really like your version.  Much thanks to you both.

Great PPT, thank you so much....

One tiny thing... in a full english breakie we have bacon... not ham!

God i miss them.

[smissu88]

Thanks for this, it's great! I have a surprise open class being sprung on me tomorrow that I just found out about and this is perfect. On slides 34 and 35 though, the English Breakfast answer should be ham, it does have bacon in it. I hear our bacon looks different to American bacon though, the way we cut and cook it.

Good Job!

I used this ppt and the pictures were great. However, my stupid computer gave the answers before hand. I need the ppt version, not the rar one. Also, there are many stereotypes here, but for America, you forgot Apple Pie, and spaghetti, Mac and Cheese. I am not talking about the noodle, but rather the combination of meat and noodle. In Italy, if you as for "spaghetti" they will bring you a plate of plain noodle, not meat and noodle. Its a twist on the meatballs and spaghetti.  The Greece section I thought would be better with Gyro's then that one you choose. 

I also added Poutine for Canada, even though I am not from there, I was told from all my friends there its one of the countries favorites. I liked your Haggis section. My kids were grossed out about that part. Thanks, one way to get them to listen. Overall, great pictures.

This is a great lesson I am going to use with all my classes. I am actually doing a unit on food and leading up to restaurants the different cultural aspects and kinda restaurant 101 vocabulary where they will practice with each other.

I have a Greek friend and kebab and souvlaki are the same thing. They correct term is souvlaki though. 

Question I have is, I am not really a powerpoint expert. I tend to keep it simple and these are amazing. I would like to add more food from different countries, but I am not sure how to do that. Any suggestions will be helpful!

This is such a well thought out lesson. Very visual, I love the full slide pictures of the destinations. Thank you so much.

I changed the cheese sandwich to peameal bacon, aka Canadian bacon, and I changed the gingerbread house to butter tarts.

One small criticism, you are not the only one who does this, is that periods were missing at the end of a lot of sentences.

I have attached my very slightly edited version, some of the tests are a little bigger. This powerpoint saved me in a pinch.

This could be very useful for my after school class.  Great work.

I taught this lesson last year in my advanced Grade 1 classes and it was a hit.

I am trying to teach it this year to my new Grade 1 mixed classes, but I am having trouble with noisey classes. They need to discuss the answers in their group, but I can't get their attention once they start chatting.

Anyone have any suggestions? I think I will try to take away points to groups who don't listen. Also tell them before class, that when I raise my hand the class need to be quiet.

Hopefully it was just a Monday thing, field trips last week and todays classes go smoother....I love this lesson, so I going to keep trying to make it work.

[toulz]

Will try this in my class, thanks!

This ppt was great for talking about food around the world. I based it off of the show Bizarre Foods.
