= Introduction = ====These days with unhealthy foods and video games as the norm within kids lives it is of upmost importance to raise awareness of healthy lifestyles through showing children from an early age what foods to eat to be healthy. This task is designed to teach children in years 4, 5 and 6 how to cook healthy and the benefits of chosing yummy, healthy ingredients in their bodies. This authentic task is designed to develop the student's skills in writing recipes, following procedures and instructing through directions. Students have the chance to use a range of technologies such as internet search engines (Google), Microsoft Word, YouTube, Video Cameras and video editing softare (Windows Movie Maker) as they then use these recipes to film and edit their own cooking show which will then be uploaded to YouTube.==== = Task Overview = ====In this activity students are first required to be split into 3 groups. Each group is assigned to either an entree, main meal or dessert. The groups must find a healthy recipe for their part of the meal and research the ingredients to find what is healthy about them. They must then type the recipe out in their own words in a presentable manner on Microsoft Word and hand these into the teacher who will then go and buy the ingredients necessary.==== ====Students must now watch part of a cooking show and think about how they will present their instructions to cooking their dish in their own cooking show. Students must also research safety in the kitchen and practice these rules whilst cooking their dishes. Groups now film themselves with a camera cooking the dish and describing how to make it to an audience, also mentioning why their dish is healthy. The groups edit their footage on Windows Movie Maker (or any similar computer program), and combine all three group's dishes into one cooking show which is uploaded to YouTube.====
