Description of activity
The class listens to a group of young people discussing their food and drink preferences. Students then complete an information-gap activity where they match the name of the speaker to a food/drink item, and also indicate a preference (like, dislike). In order to prepare a lunch menu, students use this information to write a report in Arabic as a reminder of what each individual prefers. They will need to mention the name of the person, the food/drink item and state whether the person likes or dislikes it.
Context
This is an introductory activity from a unit of work about eating and drinking. Students have listened to conversations about food and drink preferences. They have participated in communicative activities to internalise vocabulary and have been given exercises to practise and consolidate their knowledge of new structures. They have learnt vocabulary relating to food and drink and they can identify what they like and dislike.
Areas for Assessment
Outcomes
A student:
4.UL.1 demonstrates understanding of the main ideas and supporting detail in spoken texts and responds appropriately
4.UL.4 applies a range of linguistic structures to express own ideas in writing
4.MLC.1 demonstrates understanding of the importance of appropriate use of language in diverse contexts
4.MLC.2 explores the diverse ways in which meaning is conveyed by comparing and describing structures and features of Arabic.
