Introduction
This lesson plan has been developed to support the IATEFL Global Issues SIG and their October event focusing on Food issues. The lesson looks at two food-related topics: School dinners and Britain's Snack culture.
In this lesson students do a jigsaw reading activity where they read and then compare two different texts about food issues. They do a fast and furious speaking activity to practise fluency. There are optional comprehension tasks based on the two texts to do in class or for homework.
Topic: Food, school dinners, snacks, healthy eating
Level: B1-B2
Time: 60-90 minutes
Aims:
- To develop students’ reading skills
- To develop students’ fluency skills
- To raise students’ awareness of food issues
