LESSON OBJECTIVES: · Students will use the four skills to accurately copy down the “Running Dictation”: Rice Krispy Treats. · Students will work cooperatively in groups to complete the task. · Students will use linguistic cues and logic to put the recipe from the “Running Dictation” in order. · Students will recognize the use of imperatives in-context. · Students will make Rice Krispy Treats, following the recipe they have created.   KEY COMPETENCES: · Linguistic Communication · Mathematical (Logical) Competence · Personal, Social and Learning to Learn · Citizenship

RECIPE: Running Dictation: Rice Krispy Treats (see below) INGREDIENTS (MATERIALS) ·        -   Photocopies of “Running Dictation: Rice Krispy Treats” (one per group of three) ·        -   Tape that will not destroy the paint in your classroom ·        -   White sheet of paper for each group (they can provide their own pen) ·        - Microwave-safe medium bowl + Mixing spoon (1 per group) ·        - Small, square Tupperware with lid (1 per group) ·        - Microwave oven ·        - Rice Krispy Cereal (1,25 cups per group) ·        - Butter (1 tablespoon per group) ·        - Marshmallows (1 cup per group) ·        - Additional toppings, as desired (chocolate chips, peanut butter, sprinkles….)  DIRECTIONS 1. Prior to this lesson, students will have learned about Imperatives, Cooking Vocabulary, Ordinal Numbers and Cultural Differences (Recipes, Foods, Measurements). 2. Students have also been divided into groups of three and told to have a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, mixing spoon, and a small, square Tupperware with a lid for this class session (Aprons optional!). 3.  Students sit in their groups. 4. The teacher tapes one photocopy of “Running Dictation: Rice Krispy Treats” on the wall near each group (one per group). Students should NOT be able to sit in their groups and read the paper.***   *** The recipe is NOT IN ORDER, see the end of the lesson for the answer***    PHOTOCOPY “Running Dictation: Rice Krispy Treats”   Melt the butter for 30 seconds. --------------------- Switch------------------------ When cool, cut into small squares. --------------------- Switch------------------------ First, lightly butter the inside of the Tupperware. --------------------- Switch------------------------  Enjoy!  --------------------- Switch------------------------   Add cereal, stir until well-coated. --------------------- Switch------------------------ Add marshmallows, cook on high for 45 seconds. --------------------- Switch------------------------   Place butter in microwave-safe bowl and put it in the microwave. --------------------- Switch------------------------   Remove from the microwave. Stir until melted and well-blended. --------------------- Switch------------------------ Using buttered hands, press mixture evenly and firmly into the Tupperware.   5. When the word is given, group members take turns running to their paper, memorizing part of the Running Dictation, running back to their group and dictating the next part of the recipe to their partners. They should repeat the process until they reach the word “switch”, at which point they must rotate positions (one student “runs and dictates”, another “listens and writes”, and another gets a little rest). 6. When the group finishes copying the Running Dictation they must then use linguistic cues and logic to put the recipe in-order by numbering each of the steps of their recipe. 7. At this point, the group should check in with the instructor to be sure that they have organized their recipe correctly. OPTIONAL: The instructor can give different toppings to the group or groups that finish first! 8. Once a group has confirmed that their recipe is correct, they are to follow the directions and make Rice Krispy Treats together. 9. At the end of the class period, the Rice Crispy Treats will be judged on appearance, taste and texture. Extra points will be given for cleanliness, great group work, appropriate volume, display, etc. Winners will take home a prize! 10. Groups turn in their worksheet “Rice Crispy Treats Running Dictation” for evaluation at the end of the session.

EVALUATION: Students/Groups will be evaluated in two ways: 1.  Each group will turn in their “Rice Krispies Treats Running Dictation” paper, which will be marked for spelling and punctuation accuracy. OPTIONAL: Students can be asked to highlight or underline verbs that are in the imperative as an additional step. 2. Individual marks will be given for correct group work—the instructor can use group observation to objectively determine whether students are being active participants during the activity.
