Activity 2: Preparing the Feast!

Method:

Students get to celebrate their hard work with a seafood feast.

Duration:

(1 or 2 sessions to prepare the feast, one session to celebrate)

Materials:

Kitchen facilities (optional)

References:

Internet resources (to research recipes)

Procedure:

1. Tell the class that it is now time to celebrate all the good work that was accomplished in the last several weeks. Decide as a class how they will prepare for the seafood feast. Students in small research groups could search the internet for Mozambican seafood recipes, others for Canadian recipes.

2. This activity could also involve the home economics teacher and the food prepared in the home ec classroom.

3. You might want the students to decorate the classroom, write invitation and menus.

4. You might also want to give your students an experience of eating as if they were Mozambicans, with much smaller portions and much less variety. You can then add more food and variety.
