Attention getter: Five, Four, Three, Two, One

Lesson Development:
Use the attention getter to get students attention. “Good morning class! How’s your day so far? Today we’re going to continue
our lesson on how to make chocolate chip cookies. We have already learned about Kitchen and Food Safety, and Nutrition.
Today, we are learning about Ingredients and Substitutions.”

From there, Hassan will go over the agenda, GCO and SCO, and class expectations listed on the boards. He will check for
understanding as necessary, particularly regarding class expectations. (3 minutes)

After this, Bethany will have the students get their crosswords from the pile on their tables. Students will have four minutes to
read and fill out as many of the blanks as possible to access and assess their prior knowledge. Remind them to put their names on
the top right-hand corner, along with the date. Let them know there could be spaces between the words. Check for
understanding (C4U) using random selection. Hassan, Jessica, and Bethany will circulate as students work on their crosswords to
answer any questions and pose questions as students work (i.e.: Great job! So why do you think ______ is important?”). After 4
minutes has passed, tell them to place their crosswords in their folders which Hassan and Jessica will distribute. (5 minutes)

Jessica will use the attention getter (Five, Four, Three, Two, One) to bring attention back to the front. Have the students put their
crosswords in the folders that were distributed as they worked. Jessica will introduce the presentation on ingredients and why
they are important:

SLIDE ONE: How to Make a Chocolate Chip Cookie

* This side will be on the screen right up until the introduction of the presentation. Then it will switch to slide two.

SLIDE NINE-ELEVEN: Bethany will present baking powder and soda, salt, and chocolate chips. C4U. (7 minutes)

Jessica will bring up SLIDE TWELVE and will explain that we will now be watching a video that shows how to make chocolate chip
cookies. Following the video, questions will be asked to C4U such as: Which spreads? Baking soda or powder? Answer: Soda. Why
do we cream the butter? Answer: fluffy and smooth. What would I use more of to get a crispy cookie? Butter. Etc. (5 minutes)

Hassan will bring up SLIDE THIRTEEN and have the students taste each of the three available cookies. One person from each table
will be asked to come get a platter with all three variations at a time. The cookie variations include: regular chocolate chip, cookie
dough variation, and double chocolate with white chocolate chips. After tasting each one, students will write in their So What?
Journal about the texture, taste, appearance, smell, etc. of each variation. Students are expected to write approximately 2 to 3
sentences about each one. Have them place their journals back into their folders when they are finished. C4U using random
selection. (5 minutes)

After the students are done writing, collect their folders and call attention back using today’s attention getter. Thank them for
their time and attention, and let them know that it is time to pack up and head to lunch.

**OPTIONAL: If students are finished early, have them stand up for an inside outside circle (the face partners, on the inside, one on
the outside of the circle) and tell their partners what their favourite cookie was. Have them repeat for as long as desired.
