ESL Unit 5 - Food - Lesson 3 : Recipes / Imperative form / some - any - few - a little

Teaching about food? How can we be sure that we have integrated all the vocabulary and grammar relevant to their level?

How about having the context, the vocabulary and the grammar in just one place with explanations, exercises and feedback to teach about some, any, a few, a little, imperative forms and recipes?

This flexible resource will bring English alive in your classroom and it will help you teach teenagers and adults about food, ingredients, kitchen utensils, cooking verbs, imperative forms, quantifiers... This resource is aimed at helping teachers to complement their textbook or to give enough material for those who are not lucky enough to have access to ESL textbooks/material.

The resource contains a powerpoint with 26 slides with clear explanations at the bottom of each one of them to give you a step-by-step explanation about the progression of the lesson. The exercises are corrected to save you time!

The resource also contains an activity booklet for students with 9 pages so that they keep a record of their learning.

The approach is communicative to allow students to develop their speaking skills but it also contains reading and writing activities to consolidate their grammatical skills and improve their writing skills.

You will find different types of activities to allow a greater differentiation in your class:

- A recap about food, dishes and meals (questions) as a starter
- A wordsearch
- An unscrambling the sentences activity
- A classification of items between healthy and unhealthy food
- A matching up with kitchen utensils
- A reading with questions
- A speaking activity about recipes to introduce ingredients
- A video
- A speaking activity about cooking recipes
- A matching up with verbs
- A miming activity
- A grammar point about quantifiers
- 2 practices about quantifiers
- a grammar point about the imperative form
- A mind map recipe activity
- A review of objectives

I suggest you use the activity booklet that goes with it so that your students can keep a written track of their learning!


Have fun!
