//Aim:// To educate students in cooking food safely, choosing healthy meals with nutritious ingredients and providing them with experience in giving directions to a viewer. Students are also using technology to research, film, edit footage and publish videos.

This is a seven lesson (1.5 hours/lesson) project consisting of practically making the food and other lessons researching the values of their ingredients.

Equipment Needed

 * 3 computers with internet, Windows Movie Maker and Microsoft Word
 * Digital camcorder with computer cord
 * Textas and poster paper (A3 size) for healthy ingredients poster
 * Kitchen
 * Projector or interactive whiteboard (for showing Elena's Cooking Show on YouTube to the class)
 * Ingredients for the meal (on recipes by students)

Suggested Lesson Schedule
__Lesson 1__
 * Class is split into three groups.
 * One group for each main, entree and dessert.
 * The groups will then research recipe sites on the internet to find what food that they are going to make.
 * E.g. Main -Spaghetti bolognaise, Entree- Sausage rolls, Dessert- Apple Pie.
 * Students begin re-writing the recipe in their own words on Microsoft Word (to be handed into the teacher by the end of __lesson 2__ if they have found their recipe.

__Lesson 2__ __Lesson 3__
 * Students continue and finish off their recipes and hand them into the teacher.
 * Between now and __Lesson 6__ you must purchase the ingredients necessary to make the meals.
 * Once students have got their recipes their goal is to find the ingredients in the chosen foods that make them healthy and research the nutritious values of each ingredient.
 * It would be a good idea to get them to make a chart and have a picture of each ingredient so they can establish which food is which.
 * It could be even made into a poster, give the students the choice but make sure there is plenty of colour.

__Lesson 4__
 * Get the students to research ways to cook safely and how to behave in the kitchen. Using search bases such as Google and YouTube are ideal.
 * When they have gathered their information they need to make their own safety poster in Microsoft Word.

__Lesson 5__
 * Students this week have to watch Elena's Healthy Cooking show so they can see how to cook and prepare their meals as their own cooking show.
 * After watching and taking notes on preparation, cooking and presentation of their meals the students should be put into groups where they will plan and discuss their own cooking show.

__Lesson 6__
 * The students should now be ready to cook their 3 coarse meal and therefore will be filmed by one of their group members doing so.
 * Supervising the students is important as they are in a dangerous environment, but hopefully they will show practice the safety skills they learnt.
 * It is important that they stick to their menu and plans as this is what they will be marked on. They must give clear instructions to their audience and practice safety precautions in the kitchen.
 * They also should be able to identify and talk about (nutritious values) of their own dish at the end.

__Lesson 7__
 * Groups will now upload the footage of their cooking show onto Windows Movie Maker and with your help, edit the material from all three groups (parts of the meal) into one cooking show.
 * You must create an account on YouTube with the students and help them publish their final healthy cooking show onto YouTube. This video is now easily accessible to parent/guardians to see their children's work from home, and is easy to present on school open days or an assembly to parent/guardians.
