Baking buns?
Submitted by nsmyth-88 on 30 August, 2009 - 12:52
Hi,
I'm going over to France as a language assistant next month and I'm trying to think of fun ways to incorporate aspects of the UK and giving the students more of an insight into our culture. As I enjoy cooking, and food is something that differs in every country, I was wondering if it was acceptable to bring in things I have baked prior to class? Nothing too adventurous, obviously, but things such as buns or cakes?
Thanks for any feedback :)

Excellent idea! I'm sure our poor 'lycéens' will enjoy it!!! I can't see why the proviseur would oppose to the idea. Ss very often have 'goûters' in their classrooms at the end of the school year and before the Christmas break.
You could also ask the 'proviseur' if you can have access to the 'cantine' to organise a cooking class in English.
A fun way of introducing and revising everyday vocabulary relating to food, taste, colours, shapes, substances...and grammar (imperative, past tenses for instance).
Why not take the whole class to a British restaurant?
Keep us posted!

This is an excellant idea. I belief cooking and food is the secret to teaching children. Don't stop with the buns and cakes - there is so much you can do with it. Have a look at this blog for some ideas - http://1teachingkids.blogspot.com
