Guided Practice:
The teacher and the students will discuss and create a menu together. The teacher will explain the
various ways students may use to create their own food story and show examples.
Students may create their menu:
1. on the computer with images and typed explanations using Google Slides.
2. with crayons, paper and magazine clippings and explain verbally, visually or in writing
3. by acting out a commercial and explaining with a jingle they make up
4. by composing a poem or story using adjectives to stimulate visualizations
The teacher will then introduce Google Slides to the students and show them some basic ways in which
they can create a menu and add images. The teacher will also provide links to tutorials for helpful hints
about how to use Google Slides.
Independent Practice:
Students will have multiple opportunities to work on their presentations. Day one will mostly be used
for brainstorming and deciding on which way they would like to present. They can use one ELA centers
rotation time each morning and their technology class time if they are choosing the Google Slides route.
The students may use one ELA centers rotation time each morning and some of their art class time if
they are choosing the paper (visual arts) route. They can use one ELA centers rotation time each
morning and part of PE class time if they are choosing the dance/movement route. They can use one
ELA centers rotation time each morning and part of music class time if they are choosing the
dance/movement or commercial/jingle route. Arrangements will have been made with specials teachers
ahead of time.
Presentations are due in 5 school days (not including introduction day).
Reflection Strategy
After all students have presented, the class will be given time to reflect in their journals about the
process of creating their project. Was it easy or difficult to decide on a family meal? Was it easy or
difficult to decide on a way to present your meal? How do you feel about your final product? Do you
have any other constructive comments about a classmates final product?
