Hi! This time I'm sharing with you two lesson plans following the WWW structure suggested by Dudeney & Hockly (2007) using some of the Web 1.0 websites I evaluated in this post.
These lesson plans were designed for 7th graders, round the age of 11 o 12 or elementary students. However, you are free to adapt them to your students' age and level.
Lesson #1
Topic: food & nutrition
Objective: classifying food and describing their nutritive value
Warmer
Teacher will ask students to write as much food vocabulary as they can in two minutes. When time is up, they will pair up in order to share and compare their words. Then, in pairs, they will put the food in different groups, taking into account the type of food. E.g. Apple and banana together in fruit group. To round off this part, the T will encourage students into a class debate to share how much they know about nutrition and food groups.
Web
Students will be divided in groups and they will be assigned a food group, as T will ask them to prepare a poster and a brief oral presentation about it. They will have to read further on food group in order to check whether their classifications were appropriate and also they will have to find out what their assigned food group offers to our body. Teacher will suggest they use the following websites:
What next
After oral presentations, the teacher will ask students to complete the following matching exercise

Lesson #2
Topic: food & nutrition
Objective: creating healthy recipes for everyday meals

Students will pair up in order to ask and answer about what they had for breakfast, lunch and dinner the previous day. They will categorise each meal as a main source of fruit, vegetables and legumes, protein, dairy or grains.
Web
Teacher will ask students to divide in groups and each one will be assigned one of the following meals: Breakfast, Lunch, Teatime, Dinner & Dessert. They will have to create a healthy recipe for each meal and share it with the class, explaining what each plate offers for our body. The teacher will ask them to take ideas from the following websites, which have lots of recipes classified in different categories:
What next
Teacher will ask students to complete the following activity in which they have to match the meals with their source of nutrients. Please click on the following LINK to access and download the content (Exercise2-Meals&Nutrients)

Hi Ro! First I'll comment on your lesson plan #1:
ResponderBorrarThe topic you've chosen is very interesting and useful! You've used authoring tools to create material, well done! and you use authentic material as well.
I think you should include the time of the lesson plan, is it 40 minutes or more? the WEB session is not very clear to me, the TIME LIMIT for the tasks is not mentioned... and I think two tasks would be too much, creating a poster and preparing an oral prep. may be long... And what about the material used to create the posters? Are the sts going to use cardboards, or will they use a tool from the computers? the idea of the posters is GREAT! I LOVE IT! Just feel there's some info missing.
The follow-up activity in WHAT'S NEXT is great! maybe you could add that the posters will be pasted on the board, so that sts can rely on that for this final activity. WELL DONE!!
Ro! here goes my feedback on lesson plan#2:
ResponderBorrarAgain the topic of the lesson is very useful for sts' life and health. You've used authentic material and material created with an authoring tool! WELL DONE!
For the WARMER, I would JUST use the video, because if I'm not wrong, sts are not supposed to use the computer until the following part (WEB SESSION). So my suggestion is that sts watch the video which is great!, and then they can discuss in pairs which food they usually eat for each meal. The T can monitor de discussion and then write on the board the food that the majority of the group eats for each meal. This is connected with the WEB part.
In the WEB session, how will sts share their recipes? Are they going to write the recipes on the board, in diff columns (Breakfast; Lunch, etc)?
In WHAT'S NEXT, you could have some images of the food that could function as visual aid for the sts, right?
FINALLY! in references you may also include the websites mentioned in the lesson in APA format.
WELL DONE RO! I hope you find my meticulous analysis helpful! jajajaj ;)
Thanks a lot for your useful comments, again, Sol!
