1) to practise critical thinking and justifying opinions

2) to practise 21st-century skills

3) to change the world :)

STEP 1 - Choose one future food from the article your read before, which, in your opinion, has the biggest chance for success in your country. Justify your choice. Prepare 3 strong arguments. Consider reasons mentioned during the first lesson of the unit and your knowledge about climate changes in your country. 

STEP 2 - Create a shared Google Docs or Padlet for your group. Upload your notes there and share with your peers. 

GO THE EXTRA INTERCULTURAL MILE: think how different or similar are the two future foods from your countries; explore the extent to which they may influence each country's culture; investigate who inspired these food creators and why is following someone's footsteps (or not!) essential (or not!) for achieving success.

STEP 3 - Peruse your peers' notes and try to find a "soulmate" - a person that brings similar arguments to the table and presents the same point of view. If you can find one, contact him/her and from this point onwards, work together. If not, you can work individually. 

STEP 4 - Find a company or a start-up from another country that produces the kind of food that you have chosen. Together with your partner (or individually) write a formal letter (200 - 250 words) to this company trying to convince them that they should start operating in your country/ies. Use the arguments listed in Step 1, and add more arguments if possible.

STEP 5 - Send the letter to the company via e-mail and wait for a response :) Good job! 

TIP: If you don't feel comfortable sending your letter to a real company, just send it to your teacher. But why not give it an authentic try?!

Success criteria for the formal letter, tick if checked:

• My letter has a 3-part composition (introduction, arguments, ending).

• I have introduced myself in the first paragraph and explained the reason for my email.

• I have presented three convincing arguments.

• I have included at least one compliment for the recipient regarding their offer. 

• I maintain formal language and use typical expressions for a formal letter. 

• Word count- 200-250 words
