TARGET IN ACTION

Analyse your dinner and exhibit your findings

1 It’s time to prepare your presentation! Choose one of the dishes from the restaurant menu. Copy and complete this chart (I think, I’m interested, I investigate) with your findings.

I think

What do you already know about the ingredients in the dish? Do you know what living being they come from? What part of the living being are they? What is their function in the living being?

I’m interested I

What questions do you have about the ingredients? Write down the things you don’t know yet.

2 Draw your chosen dish full size on a piece of white card. Colour it and cut it out. Draw some big arrows on coloured card and cut them out. Stick them to the dish to label the ingredients. Don’t worry if the arrows stick out. Write the following on each arrow: a) The name of the ingredient. b) The living being (or beings) it comes from and the kingdom it belongs to. c) The part of the living being it is, and its function. investigate

3 Set a table in class with a tablecloth, glasses and cutlery. Arrange your ‘dishes’ on the table and... voila! Enjoy the exhibition! You can even investigate your favourite dishes – just follow the same steps.

Do research on the Internet, in books or by asking other people. Answer the questions you wrote down in ‘I’m interested’.

1 In this unit, some things were probably easy to learn and some things were probably a bit harder. In your portfolio, write down three things that were hard and explain why.

2 Does your new knowledge make you think about how to protect plants?
