							| Ideas for a funny lesson 
 |  
							| Hello, I need your advice for a lesson with teenagers (aged 13-14). They have a basic level and I would like to innovate and do something different with them. I �ve thought about drama but I �ve never tried it before... Could you please suggest any ideas?
 Currently we �re studying a unit about food and cooking.
 THANKS

							| Hello dear beefeater, 
 I worked on the topic of food and recipes with my students: First, they learnt some vocabulary ( cooking verbs, ... ) Then, they looked for a recipe that they fancied and translated it into English. Finally, they cooked/ baked their dishes at home and the rest of students could try them during break time.
 
 Hope this is useful.

							| Some ideas to use cooking in class:) You could introduce cooking verbs and play a miming game 
 you could use conversation cards for pair work 
 or a guessing game

							| Well since they are 13,14 years old try having a cooking class like baking muffins, cookies and even a colorful fruit salad! The cooking classes are always a huge success with my students!Plus everybody can understand what is being done because of the "visual aid"! |  15 May 2012
