Fun Sushi Lesson
« on: October 07, 2013, 02:09:35 PM »
I made and have taught this lesson several times now. It has gone down really well.
Sushi is a food topic that interests me so I knew I wanted to teach a lesson on it. But the actual target English is about describing tastes and textures. The rest is really just for fun.

I've included the ppt used for teaching the lesson, a ppt with the English descriptions of different sushi types I print out, laminate, and tape up around the classroom as a kind of menu for the worksheet activity, the worksheet itself, and a word search for students who finish early. There are notes included in the lesson ppt to explain the procedures I used.

I hope this is useful to someone!

I rarely find such complete lessons on waygook.  Thank you so much for the upload!  It's especially appreciated near the end of the semester when my brain is becoming fried for ideas  :P

Thanks for the lesson!  This worked well for my apathetic Science/Math 2nd year HS students. 

I only adjusted a couple history slides(using my powers of wikipedia) and added pictures of sushi cats between each section.  Because sushi cats are adorable and it falls in line with my students requiring pictures of babies, animals, or poop in every lesson.

This is fantastic. Something good to fill in the gaps with a different food/different culture lesson I've got planned. Now I'll make it a 2-day lesson!  ;D

Thanks for this lesson. Worked really well with my after school class. Had a bit of extra time so I showed them a sushi video. They really liked it. Link Below.

Wow, I only saw the PPT, and man, you sure put a lot of love into your PPTs. I do have one question: Is wasabi spicy? I don't find it spicy, just very pungent.

Thanks, I like my ppts to have a certain style and format. I think wasabi is spicy to most people. It is to me and my students agreed.

I thought the language in the PPT was geared for 3rd graders, actually.  :huh:  Maybe your student's overall level is low?

They all should know clothing vocab by now so I'd omit that.

The lesson seems mostly lecture and wouldn't they become bored?

Most Korean mothers make kimbap rolls at home.  Why don't you give them a cooking lesson in English on how to make rolls?

Lay dried seaweed on a bamboo mat.
Pour oil into a bowl.
Brush with oil.
Place a scoop of warm, fresh rice on the seaweed and spread.
(The temperature of the rice is important in sushi)
Slice vegetables, meat into strips in the center.
Roll them up.

Also let the students know that, in Japan, it takes a sushi chef about 10 years to become a master.

The obvious word 'roll' wasn't used once in the PPT.

The lesson is about sushi because I wanted it to be about sushi. I could do a kimbap lesson in the future but that isn't something I want to do now. The majority of the lesson is writing and speaking. That's where the students practice and produce the target vocabulary. The intro stuff is lecture style but the descriptions section is about students translating on the fly. After that they complete the worksheet and read their finished work to me. The clothing and "sushi art" sections are for fun but also to give lower level students a chance to participate.

I am asking  you, native English speakers.

When do you use savory and salty?

What's the difference between them?

In English Korean dictionary the meanings of the words are overlapped.

The two can be exactly the same. I wanted "savory" in the lesson to add to students' vocabulary and because I have seen it used to differentiate between different kinds of sushi tastes before.

My co-teacher and I actually talked about what Korean word would highlight the difference. But honestly it doesn't matter that much. To be savory is a fuller taste than salty but that's very subjective.

Savory means that it is flavorful but not sweet. Savory and sweet are contrasting terms.

Savory foods can be salty, but they aren't the same thing. Salty foods are not always savory (ex: salted caramels are sweet and salty, not savory) and savory foods are not always salty.

Anyway, I like this lesson. Quality power-point slides.
