Unit 3 Food-E A healthy school lunch menu (Project)

 

This unit focuses on the topic of food, aiming to enable students to talk about different kinds of food, express their preferences, and understand the concept of a healthy diet. The project "A healthy school lunch menu" requires students to use the knowledge they have learned about food to design a healthy school lunch menu. Through this project, students will not only improve their English language skills in terms of vocabulary, grammar, and sentence patterns related to food, but also enhance their awareness of healthy eating.

 

A. Vocabulary

Fruits: apple, banana, orange, strawberry, grape, pear, watermelon, peach, pineapple

Vegetables: tomato, potato, carrot, cabbage, broccoli, cucumber, lettuce, onion, pepper

Grains: rice, bread, noodles, dumpling, porridge, pizza, hamburger, sandwich

Proteins: chicken, beef, fish, pork, egg, tofu, bean

Dairy products: milk, cheese, yogurt, butter

B. Sentence Patterns

Expressing preferences:

I like + food. (e.g. I like apples.)

I don't like + food. (e.g. I don't like onions.)

My favorite food is + food. (e.g. My favorite food is ice - cream.)

Describing food:

It's/They're + adjective. (e.g. It's delicious. They're sweet.)

It tastes/smells + adjective. (e.g. It tastes good. It smells nice.)

Asking about food:

What's your favorite food?

Do you like...? (e.g. Do you like fish?)

Would you like some...? (e.g. Would you like some milk?)

C. Grammar

Countable and Uncountable Nouns

Countable nouns have singular and plural forms. For example, "an apple - apples", "a banana - bananas".

Uncountable nouns usually have no plural form. For example, "milk", "rice", "bread".

We use "a/an" before singular countable nouns, "some" before plural countable nouns and uncountable nouns in positive sentences, and "any" in negative sentences and questions. For example, "I have a banana. I have some apples. I have some milk. I don't have any bread. Do you have any bananas?"

 

教学过程

A. Warming - up (5 minutes)

Greet the students as usual.

Play a short English song about food, such as "Food Song", to create a lively atmosphere and lead in the topic of food. After the song, ask students some simple questions, like "What food did you hear in the song?" to check their listening comprehension and arouse their interest.

B. Revision (5 minutes)

Show some pictures of food on the PPT quickly and ask students to say the English names of the food as fast as they can. This activity can review the food vocabulary they learned before.

Invite several students to come to the front of the class and describe a kind of food without naming it. The rest of the students guess what the food is by asking questions like "Is it a fruit/vegetable...? Is it sweet/salty...?" This activity reviews the sentence patterns for describing food.
