=Authentic task outline and intended outcome:=

This authentic task involves teaching students how to **read recipes.** The project also makes room for integration of learning areas such as; mathematics, health and ICT. This project spans over **four weeks** with **two/three lessons** per week. The project will help students to read and create a recipe. It also provides instruction on writing clear instructions for someone else to follow. In this task, the intended outcome is to produce a 'game show' style video of students following a recipe. The aim is for year 2/3 students to work in groups and create a simple recipe design of a 'fruit and veg face' or 'animal'. Once this is completed, the aim is for the students to video record themselves reading and following a recipe another group have designed, in a 'game show' style. The students are to keep a visual diary to record their progress and map out their learning.

=Lesson plan overview : =

Week 1
- Authentic Task - Week 1&2


 * In lesson one we will focus on recipes, their different forms (i.e. web-based, books, magazines etc) and how to read them. Also integrated into lesson 1 will be a 15 min tutorial on how to use the Tuff Cam 2 Digital Video & Cam and a discussion about TV cooking game.reality shows. The camera is used to keep record of the process, from start to finish, in order to create a visual diary.
 * In lesson 2 we will introduce the visual diary concept so the whole task can be documented and presented. Work will commence on the diary during this lesson and continue in subsequent lessons.

Week 2
- Authentic Task - Week 1&2
 * In lesson 3 we are focusing on reading measurements and understanding which measuring cup/jug to use. This is implemented by the whole class practicing with interactive software and then cooking choc chip cookies.
 * In lesson 4 we are focusing on the importance of the film crew and what needs to be decided ready for the filming week. This is implemented by the class being split up into three groups with different activities.

Week 3
- Authentic Task - Week 3&4


 * In lesson 5, students will recall what they already know about recipes and the teacher will write up the information. They will then interact co-operatively with their classmates to play a recipe sorting game. Students will also look at their own recipes which have been jumbled and printed. This provides opportunity for the students to demonstrate their understanding of how a recipe is structured. There are also recipe resources available for extension students to sort.
 * Lesson 6 focuses more on the making of their fruit and veggie face. We begin the lesson by exploring the ingredients we will be using for our face. Students do this by only using one of their senses and in this case it is touch. Following this, students have to follow their own recipe and make their own face. This helps the students test their instructions and allows the students to make any changes, if they feel their instructions are not clear.

Week 4
-Authentic Task - Week 3&4
 * In Lesson 7 The main focus is on **SET DESIGN** and preperation for the filming lesson. The lesson will also include choosing the team names and confiming the job roles within the group/team.


 * In Lesson 8 the main focus is the 'filming' of the 'video'. Most of the preperation should have been completed in the previous weeks of the project. The lesson starts with setting up the filming area and preping the ingredients.

=Advice for Teachers=

This Authentic task 'learning about recipes project' is to run over four weeks with around two lessons per week. It would be an idea to have a section of the classroom that repflects the topic and a place to store any materials/props/costumes for the final 'filming'.

Links to lessons plans are provided on the authentic task pages (links below) and include information on advice about suggestions on timing, managing activities and students.

Authentic Task - Week 1&2 Authentic Task - Week 3&4

Extension activities (differentiation)
Suggestions for older children:
 * different recipes - that are more complicated and/or require heat cooking.
 * competing against time and other groups when 'filming'.
 * use age appropriate interactive presentation applications.
