A project I would like to implement:Cooking in the English class.
It is going to be messy....but this is how a real primary school's class is!
The idea sprang when I was around thirteen actually..... I realised I knew many words I would not use in real life,but I did not know what to ask for if I wanted to prepare a cake or a dinner.
I tried that project in the nursery I used to work,but the interaction was in Greek.I would like to see how young learners (6-7 years old)will respond if we made an effort to bake our muffins or our koulourakia:)My aim is mainly at motivating learners by art and crafts(I think it's kind of art).It is easier for them to learn words like flour,sugar,butter,spoon etc.
