料理教室

For the past few classes we have been practicing  ordering and taking orders at a restaurant.

My main goal of this lesson was to get the students to really get a grasp of and to use the phrase “can I….”  Seems like such an easy phrase to learn and say, but it is a real challenge to students to use it.  Memorizing the phrase is super easy but when it actually come to using the phrase it becomes a bit more difficult.  Hopefully incorporating it into a fun tasty activity will drill it in and help the students to use the phrase naturally and without thinking about it.

A very simple but tasty lesson.

During the first class we went over the ingredients and directions on how to make the bars.   I put together a quick little worksheet so that the learners would have a chance to practice and remember the definitions and processes.

In the second class I left it up to the students to ask for what they needed “Can I get Oreo cookies please”  “Can i get a bowl” and then got them to recite the directions on how to make the bars. “Put Oreo’s in a bag and crush”  “Microwave for 1 to 2 minutes.”

One of my objectives for this lesson was to have the learners THINK, TRY, and do tasks themselves without my help or intervention.  I find many students are afraid to try new things. (even opening a microwave door brings on hesitation)

In the end the Oreo bars came out delicious and the Kids eat them allllll up!!
