The Assignment: Each group will have a “C” which will be the main focus of their lesson. The lesson should primarily be in the TL. The lesson could include: History of the food, other cultural aspects (regions where it is eaten, popularity, and religious significance), a brief explanation on how to make it, or an explanation of ingredients. Students will need to present a short demonstration, an explanation in the TL (10 minutes total) and a written component to tie it all together. Lauren and Laura [|Fun Food Final Project]

Katie H. and Lisa! Students will be placed in groups of approximately 3 students based on language. Students will design a lesson plan that incorporates a food from that culture. Students will incorporate the following: at least one of the 5 C’s (which will be assigned), basic SLA principles, and key pedagogical principles. The presentation (about 10 minutes) will include a snippet in the target language and a snippet that explains the lesson in English. Students are to include a written component that explains the lesson plan as well.

This project will be incorporating things that we have learned throughout the semester such as scaffolding, the “c” that we will be assigned, and L2 teaching (at least in part). The written component should have a plan of what will be accomplished during the presentation as well as why you chose to present the item the way you did. This plan must also include how you would present it differently in an actual classroom setting. Erika

With your group, prepare a lesson plan using your assigned “C” and a prepared food from the culture of your target language. Make sure you are including in your lesson plan your assigned “C”, the basic SLA principles, and some key pedagogical principals (scaffolding, modeling, interactive, communicative purpose, etc.) Present your lesson plan to the class by shortening your lesson and giving a brief version of your lesson plan in the target language. Use about 3-4 minutes to present the lesson plan in the target language and then use the remaining 6-7 minutes to explain in English the rationale for your lesson plan. During your rationale explanation include how you used elements from this class. Be prepared to hand in your written lesson plan as a group. Lindsay Robertson

Assignment: Students will be in groups of two or three (besides Kristen). Each group will be assigned one of the five C’s from the state standards. Focusing on their assigned “C” each group will design a lesson plan based around a culturally authentic food or recipe from a country that speaks their TL. The lesson plan should include SLA principles and several of the pedagogical principles that we have discussed in class such as scaffolding, modeling, interaction and communication. Each group will have 10 minutes to present a small portion of their lesson in the TL and give a description of their objectives and the remainder of the lesson. A written copy of the full lesson plan should be turned in via Angel. Don’t forget to bring in the food you are presenting so the class can enjoy it! - Kerry, Sarah, Alison [|Sarah, Alison and Kerry's Rubric]

Each group of one to three students will be assigned one of the five C’s. Based on this concept, the students will work together to create a lesson based around a food that is culturally authentic to a country/community that speaks their TL. Students will present a shorter version of the complete lesson, and explain how the lesson relates to the concepts studied in class, including the C they were assigned. Each group will have about 10 minutes total for their lesson and explanation, and will turn in a full written version of the lesson plan. -Linda and Caitlin http://rubistar.4teachers.org/index.php?screen=PrintRubricDownloadFile&rubric_id=1493443&

Students will be broken up into groups of 3 people and the size may vary depending on the language spoken. Each group will have to teach a lesson based on a specific dish that is authentic to a country that speaks their language. They will teach about certain aspects of the food such as the history, the ingredients, how to make it, etc. Groups will create a written component for the lesson as well as explain and teach a small portion in the target language. Additionally, groups will be assigned a specific “C” from the 5 Cs that they will need to incorporate within their lesson and show how it can be available to students. Lastly, groups will need to show their knowledge of SLA, scaffolding, contextualization, communicative competence and how it can be applied in the lesson so that students are actively engaged and learning. Each group will have approximately 10 minutes to present. -Erich

Each group will be assigned one of the five “C’s” to incorporate into a lesson with food, which they will present to the class in the target language. The lesson will focus on a food of a specific culture, and students will be expected to incorporate key pedagogical principles from the class (SLA theory, modeling, scaffolding, etc.). Students may include the cultural significance of the food (where it originated, popularity, etc.). Presentations should last approximately 10 minutes. A majority of this time should be spent teaching the lesson in the target language (6-7 min), and the remainder of the time in English (2-3 min) explaining why the lesson works and its usefulness in the classroom. -Aubrey and Amy

For the final project, the class will be broken up into groups of 3. Each group will need to create a lesson about a food. In the lesson each group will need to incorporate the history, and other cultural aspects, and a brief explanation of how the food is made. It is important to remember all ideas and theories that have been learned in class. Each group will be assigned a C (Communication, Connections, Communities, etc.). Also in your lesson you will need to incorporate other teaching principles. Each group will be give 10 minutes for their lesson on the final day. -Jessica Geroux

Jade Huffman Melissa Lucas Class will be split into groups according to language with a maximum of three people. The group will develop a lesson plan in the TL that incorporates food and culture as well as one of the 5 Cs (this will be assigned.) The lesson plan needs to include basic principles like scaffolding, modeling, input, production, etc. This will be approximately a 10 min. presentation mostly in the target language with an explanation in English before and after the lesson.

Lizzie Groups teach snippet of their lesson about a topic related to food (i.e. commands about cooking/eating, vocab about food, actions, culture, grammar points, going shopping, etc.) for 7-9 minutes in the target language. Groups have a couple of minutes at the end (total 10 minutes including lesson) to explain how they incorporated their "Cs", SLA, and pedagogical strategies (and how they would extend this lesson in a classroom). Groups turn in a written component that has the full extended lesson (and the explanation of the "Cs," SLA, and pedagogical strategies). [|Lizzie's Rubric]

Katie L. Each student will work in a group of three, with the exception of one French group of two, and a one-person Japanese lesson. Each group will design a realistic lesson in the target language based on some aspect of teaching about food. The food will serve as a culturally-authentic instigator for any of a wide range of lesson styles, which could include history, culture, or even grammar in the form of a recipe. Each group will design their food lesson in a way that focuses on one of the Five "Cs," but, of course, can incorporate more. In addition to teaching the "C," students will show a solid demonstration of pedagogical strategies such as modeling, input/output, scaffolding, etc. The group does not have to teach the ENTIRE lesson, only enough of it to show a clear example of how it would function in a real classroom. After teaching the small portion, the group will explain their objectives and plan to the class to explain how all of their ideas are incorporated.
