The Famous Thai Food Task

On zunal.com, I have found a task which is quite satisfactory. The task is called "The famous Thai food".

You may find it below in the link;

The activity starts with grouping the students in 4-5 people. Each group makes an online research on Thai recipes and create a menu.

The task process on what the students should have a research on is described in the site with bullets;


* The brief description of the menu
* The ingredients
* The tools used
* The recipe


Finally they post their works on teacher's facebook and comment on each others' works as a feedback.

In addition to those, the teacher uses a rubric for the grading which you can find in the link below;

I have found this activity quite interactive and authentic as it includes real life materials and group work yet i am in a slight doubt about the grade selection. It says in the site that this activity is for 9-12th graders which i found not actually challenging for that age group and assumed proficiency level as finding a recipe, understanding it and turning it into a presentable form are more likely to be suitable for lower graders in my opinion.

If you think in a dofferent or the same way, ypu can always comment below!

Stay tuned for more,
