Introduction
• What kind of celebration could we have with food and people who are close to us?
• What kind of interactions would make the celebration fun?
You are going to plan a picnic with a focus on healthy eating and fun. You are going to discuss when and where the picnic will be held and what items other than food will be required. You are going to discuss who to invite and how the invitations will be delivered. As plans are made, you are going to record them on a classroom billboard.
Task
In cooperative learning pairs...
You will answer the following questions on a piece of paper:
• What kind of picnics have you had?
• What activities did you enjoy?
• Did everyone have a good time? Why?
• What places are suitable and safe for picnics?
• When would be a suitable time for a picnic for the class?
• What items other than food and drink will be needed?
• Whom would we like to invite?
• What are some ways we could issue invitations?
• What are some games we could play?
After answering the previous questions....
You both will choose one of the following presentation methods to present to your audience (your classmates) the answers you get.
- 2 pages essay (double spaced)
- 10 Slide PowerPoint
- 3 minute speech with ten accompanying note cards
Process
Your partner and you are going to plan a menu for a picnic. join another pair of partners and work together to list the types of food the four of you would like to include. A class list of suggestions is compiled from which the final menu is chosen. the whole class compare the final menu with a food selection model, such as The Australian Guide to Healthy Eating or The Healthy Eating Pyramid, and modify it as necessary to ensure food selections are healthy.
Consider the following questions to list the types of food:
• What kind of food have you taken on other picnics?
• What kind of food would you like to take on this picnic?
• What kind of food should we include so that everyone’s food likes and needs are met?
• What kind of food should we include so that it is a ‘healthy’ picnic?
• What kind of food would we like to eat as ‘sometimes foods’?
• How much food will we need?
In your cooperative learning group of four, you will follow the hyperlinks below. These pages will give you valuable information for researching and your final project. Partner A will be in charge of reading the articles out loud. When they are finished, Partners B, C and D will then summarize and retell the most important parts of the article. As a group, you will discuss what you think will be most helpful to you as you work on you picnic planning.

Then, Picnic Planning!
You and your partners are going to develop a ‘shopping’ list and plan the purchase or provision of picnic requirements.
Answer these questions to plan your ‘shopping’ list:
• Where could we get our food from?
• Who will bring or buy which kind of food?
• Can we do the shopping for the food ourselves?
And now is time for preparing food!
Now you are ready to set and have things on point for sharing a picnic, but before that, let's talk about something you have to follow when thinking about planning a day outside!
Hygiene rules for handling food
Here are some rules to remember when you are handling food. Can you think of any others to add to the list?
|
• Wash your hands before touching food. • Make sure that the area you are using is clean. • Wash fruit and vegetables under cold water before using them. • Clean up food spills straightaway. • Use different cutting boards and knives for cutting raw food and cooked food. • Don’t cough or sneeze near uncovered food. • Wash your hands after handling raw food, especially meat. • ________________________________________________________________________________. • ________________________________________________________________________________. • ________________________________________________________________________________. |
In this part, you are going to work alone, because you are going to prepare yourself to meet the requirements spelled out in the rubric. This part of your task won't necessarily require you to work closely with your partner. However, they are a resource and are always available to bounce ideas off of. Again, check your rubric and check it often! Once your pair and groupwork are finished, both of them will be reviewed for criteria during presentation. I will be looking for specific things in your presentation so be aware!
