I used Pixie 3 to focus on the main skills:
- ID the main components of pizza (our food unit)
- Divide them into vegetales, frutas, carnes, pan
- Put together a creative piece
- Elicit student sentences by providing a template.
PStep 1, refresh the names of possible meats, veggies, cheese, etc. Divide them. PS: Tomatoes and Mushrooms are swapped on this one.
Always show the completed project ahead of time so that they can get a grasp of what is expected. I did this piece in front of them and asked them to give me other options to make it look real.
After the project they filled out a rubric where they had to determine their level of comfort and confidence using this vocabulary outside the classroom. We will return to this lesson using a Math (making change, counting) component and then revisit the vocab again.
