Here are some great ideas from Julia Cross on how to use two You Tube clips about Jamie Oliver's food revolution and food education programme.
Click here to read the article (in Spanish). or follow the links below to the videos.
Video 1: Potato or tomato?
N4 teachers, If you’re doing the fruit
unit in Footprints 2, you might like to show this Jamie Oliver food revolution
day video.
He goes into a classroom in a school in
Huttingdon, West Virginia, (the town with the largest number of ‘obese’ people
in America)and asks the kids the name of certain fruits and veg. They don’t
know what a tomato is!!
Possible task:
1. Explain
the experiment and who Jamie Oliver is. He thinks Food education should be a
subject like Maths. Kids should learn how to grow and cook fresh nutritious
food.
2.
Watch
the video – I’d jot down the fruit and veg they say and or see and the kids
have to ü the ones they hear. If there are too
many new words, just write a max of 10 and include some of the fruit vocab from
Footprints as extras. These will have a × because they won’t see or hear them
in the video J
Video 2: Food revolution
Content: Food Revolution day – this short video explains a few facts about what unhealthy eating is doing to
children and talks about the petition to present to Govts.
Perhaps for older kids T2, T3 , T4 –
good if you’ve doing a unit on food or good for a speaking listening activity +
revision of food vocab from a previous unit.
You could invent some questions and give
3 possible answers. Students guess the answer first and then listen to see if
they are correct or not.
