This lesson is essentially lesson 8 from the old book (Nassredin and the Fish). Here's some stuff I used on ordering from a menu for that. It's all from other Waygooks so I can not take any credit for it. The Price is Right Game is really brilliant.
I start this lesson by talking about foods from around the world and ask if they've tried any of the foods/if they like any food other than Korean food. I show them a few youtube videos to show them different foods (The Iron Chef "Secret Ingredient" Collection is a good and funny one). Anyway. Thanks to all of the other Waygs who made this stuff. Cheers and happy teaching!

And here is a related lesson I did with my first grade after school class with only three students in it. It's a 90 minute class, but I wasn't able to finish everything.

There is an issue here. I don't know how to go about with the information gap activity. How do you impiment it?

I'll be teaching 5-6 class periods on this lesson -- I'll be posting my materials as I make 'em.

Lesson 4A focuses on "May I take your order? / I'll have ____" material. I've attached a lesson plan, PPT, worksheet and speed quiz that I modified from last semester's class. For the speed quiz, be sure to stress to the students that NO KOREAN is allowed. Also, there's a bunch of stuff about a "money" rewards system at the beginning that can be disregarded.

Lesson 4B recaps the dialogue and focuses on "Anything else? / Is that all?" I start class with the Iron Chef challenge that a previous poster mentioned; I uploaded the video for those of you who, like me, don't have internet in the classroom. I then went through my PPT and ran through the Listen and Talk 1 activities. At the end of class, I played the jackpot menu game, slightly modified to fit my materials better.

Lesson 4C focuses on "How much is the ____?" material. There's a PPT  that runs through the dialogue, and a worksheet that goes over the Listen & Talk 2 material. At the end of class, I did a speaking activity where pairs of students presented a simple conversation based on the target dialogue. One student should be the customer; one should be the cashier. I've attached the print outs for the conversation activity.

I used lesson 4D to teach large numbers after I saw what a hard  time my students had with them. I went through my PPT, which introduces large numbers; then, I played a game in which I would read out a number and my students had  to select A or B. (I wrote A and B on pieces of paper and taped them to pencils.) Afterward, there's a large number bingo game.

Lesson 4E consists of a Price is Right game (prices taken from emart.com) and this Mr. Bean episode: . The episode covers both prices and eating at a restaurant, so I thought it was perfect. ^^

The textbook talks about the price of things like T-shirts and shoes.  This lesson is focused on numbers rather than food.

Part 2 is focused on flavor.

EDIT:

Modified slides 136 and 137.  Students were confused about the handout.

The textbook talks about the price of things like T-shirts and shoes.  This lesson is focused on numbers rather than food.

Part 2 is focused on flavor.

The two target phrases Have to do with ordering food in a resturant, i.e. "Are you ready to order?" "Yes, I'll have the ..." and the second target phrase has to do with shopping, i.e "How much is the T-shirt?" "It's 13 dollars" so there is definitely a mixture of food related activities and shopping activities that you can do for this lesson.   Ill be practicing the dialogue from the powerpoint, practice ordering food off of an Outback menu, then play a resturant bomb game I found off of another thread somewhere on Waygook last year.

I'll be posting the 'shopping' part B next week if I can.

Cheers all

A lot of my students weren't very confident with countable and uncountable nouns.

A: May I take your order?
B: Yes. I'll have a spaghetti.

In a restaurant setting, saying "I'll have a coke," is fine...but...at home...you'd ask your mom for "some coke" or "a glass of coke". This was really bizarre to them...so I used this worksheet to try to do some clarification. It seemed to go down well. 

Vocabulary overview for Lesson 4.

For anyone still using this book (like me) Buzzfeed mad a wonderful short video about "What the world eats fro breakfast." It covers several countries and has food the kids are probably familiar with. I would advise looking up a few things to answer the inevitable questions (like what is veggiemite?)

I plan on using this video as a motivational starter when we start talking about foods around the wold. I'll post my Lesson when I finish putting it together.
