3. PRACTICEII – Blanco andSarmiento.
2017 – 6th
grade.
- Once the activity is finished, learners have to write the menu they have
chosen and share it with their classmates.
- There is very little input as regards English in this activity. Try providing
them with a text about healthy eating first, so that they know what they
should include in their menu and why. Prepare a reading comprehension
exercise, then, yes, you may use this activity. (1) .Suggested printable.

- I will try to find you some texts about healthy eating in textbooks but you
should also try finding resources online.
OR:
Suggestion 1:
After reading the rest of the plan, solve the reading on the Second activity first
and leave the menu as the last activity and in this way you will achieve the
same purpose.
Suggestion 2:
Watch this great video about healthy eating. Prepare listening comprehension
exercises about it:
Suggestion 3:
In the last Teacher’s magazine, there is a great game about healthy eating
(Eudeba, available from kiosks).
