Taboo Game: PowerPoint.
One student is sitting with their back to the screen, the others try to explain the words that they see on the screen to make him/her guess them. At the end this student may look at the slide to see all words. Students take turns. Can be played with or without time limit.

Could be improved by adding a second slide after each task-slide with pictures illustrating words in the task. This way at the end of each turn you switch the slide and the student who was guessing and the rest of the class can see the answers with pictures.

Some of the students had mentioned that they would like to bake or cook some traditional German food. Since the semester is almost over, I thought this was a great time to do that.

How did you present the material? (handouts, group work, general discussion, student presentations, etc.)
We went to the FLRC and browsed the internet for German recipes. Every student had to find 3 interesting recipes that he or she liked and prepare it to the group afterwards. We then decided on starting off with German chocolate cake, since I had almost all the necessary ingredients for that in my apartment already. For the next lesson we decided to bake Laugenbrezeln and I offered to get all necessary ingredients until the next lesson.
Once in my apartment, we gathered all ingredients and baking supplies. Then, the students baked the German chocolate cake. Since all students were free after the end of the class, they stayed until the cake was done. We tried some right away and split the cake into 4 pieces, so that the students could take some pieces of cake home with them.

They were excited and very motivated!

Class theme/topics discussed: We’re making a German chocolate cake

How did you pick this theme or topic?
See previous lesson.

How did you present the material? (handouts, group work, general discussion, student presentations, etc.)
First, I presented my students three different recipes of the different cakes and asked them to choose the one they would like to do most. My students agreed on a chocolate cake. Thus, we went over the recipe, discussing the ingredients and the instructions. Then, we prepared everything for the actual baking: The students lined up all ingredients (which I had bought before) and necessary appliances in the kitchen. Then, they followed the instructions step by step, explaining what they were doing while doing it. After they had prepared the dough, the cake was ready to be baked and was put in the oven. We had about 10 minutes of the lesson left, so we sat down and talked about food a little bit more until the end of the lesson. Later that evening / the next day, the students stopped by my apartment to pick up their shares of the cake.

How did students react?
The students loved baking! They were very motivated and seemed to have a lot of fun.

Did they engage with each other and you?
Yes, they did. They were talking very much and they asked a lot of questions.

What materials or media did you use? (articles, satellite tv, digital projector, etc.)
Copies of recipes
Ingredients for cake

 

 

Would you recommend this activity for a future class? Why or why not?
Yes, it was a nice break from the other lessons. The atmosphere was very relaxed and the students seemed very comfortable. The only thing that I didn’t ‘love’ about this lesson is that you can’t do everything in ONE lesson – i.e. the cake won’t probably get done in time of just one lesson. Thus, the students had to come back at a later time to see the actual result and to pick up their pieces of cake. But my students didn’t mind that, so it was not a big problem.

Class theme/topics discussed: In a restaurant

How did you pick this theme or topic? My students had told me that they would like to bake or cook something together, which I plan to do the following lesson. As an introduction I thought it might be interesting to talk about food in general and do this with the help of a role-play.

How did you present the material? (handouts, group work, general discussion, student presentations, etc.)
First, I asked my students what they generally liked to eat and drink and what not so much. We had a lively discussion about American food and my students’ favorite dishes. We also talked about their favorite restaurants and great places to eat in the area around Claremont. Then, I suggested an exercise: Each student was supposed to impersonate a restaurant owner. They had to come up with a type of restaurant, a name for it, and their own menu with their favorite dishes. Then, we did different kinds of role plays, where the students would play customers, waiters, and chefs in their respective restaurants. The students practiced some restaurant-related small talk, they discussed the menus, they placed orders, and they gave feedback about the food they had ‘ordered’.

How did students react?
The students had a lot of fun were very creative when it came to their own menus. They also loved the role play.

Did they engage with each other and you?
Yes, they were talking to each other very much and they learned some new, useful vocabulary.

Chandeleur

How did you pick this theme or topic?

They had learned vocabulary in the previous lesson, but the topic of food is so vast that there is a lot activities that can be done in order for the students to learn more words and cultural things such as recipes, dishes, etc… It’s also a nice way of making them practice other things such as the use of certain tenses.

How did you present the material? (Handouts, group work, general discussion, student presentations, etc.)

Fill in the blanks

How did students react?

They reacted well. But they took longer than expected to do it.

Did they engage with each other and you?

Yes. They had to read a text to each other and fill in different blanks, so they had to ask questions about the spelling of words, etc…

What materials or media did you use? (articles, satellite tv, digital projector, etc.)

Food

How did you pick this theme or topic?

After the cooking session, I realized that they needed to learn food vocabulary, and it’s always fun for the students to learn more about this cultural part of a language.

How did you present the material? (Handouts, group work, general discussion, student presentations, etc.)

Games with flashcards
Game of the pairs + taboo style game

How did students react?

They reacted well, they liked playing games.

Did they engage with each other and you?

Yes. They had to say the word of each picture each time they found it, and then had to create sentences to make the other guess which word it was.

Food

5 min

– Warm-up
– ask them what they know, write it on the white board

5 min

– I give them the pictures and words
– they have to memorize them

15-20 min – game “pairs”

– they have to match the pictures and the words
– when they find a pair, they have to produce a sentence using it
– the winner is the one who finds more pairs

15-20 min – taboo-like game

– Then I give each of them a series of pictures and they have to make the other guess what it is without using its name

If some time left
• What is your favorite food?
• What food have you always wanted to try but haven’t?
• etc…
