Now that you know the reasons why I have chosen the websites mentioned in "Website Evaluations", I will show on this page some ideas on how to use them in lessons using the WWW model (warmer, web, what's next). These two lessons are part of the same thematic unit about food vocabulary, likes and dislikes, and its for sixth graders in a school in Argentina. At the end of these two lessons, students will be creating their own restaurant menu.
Hope you find it useful!
Lessons Objectives
By the end of these two lessons, students will be able to:
Identify and name different food items.
Identify and name the different meals.
Classify different food items according to the type of meal they are.
Compare and contrast different types of menus.
Create a restaurant menu.
Lesson 1
Aim: Students will identify vocabulary related to food and menu sections (starters, mains, desserts).

WARMER
The T will show a picture of a restaurant menu and ask:
If we take a look at a menu, are the food items altogether and mixed, or is it in sections?
WEB
What are the different sections called? Sts will watch the video and elicit the names of each section.
Then, students will play a game to classify each food item into starter, main course, beverages/drinks, and dessert.
Then, students will take a look at the menu found in the British Council Page. and complete the task 1 and 2 of the worksheet.
WHAT'S NEXT
Then, students will modify the British council menu by classifying the food into the sections learned.
Lesson 2
Aim: Students will apply food vocabulary to create and present a simple menu.

WARMER
Revision of vocabulary by playing a game. In it, students will choose a number, look at the picture found behind it, and say the name of the food item found in that card.
WEB
What differences are there between this menu and the one from the previous class? Which one is more clear and organised? Sts will take a look at both and compare them using a worksheet.
What information must be found in a menu? Sts will elicit ideas and the T will write them on the board.
Name of the restaurant
Sections
Prices
Images (not always)
Students will take a look at a real menu from a restaurant in London and compare again with the ones they have been working on. They will complete the second part of the worksheet.
WHAT'S NEXT
To round off students will play a short true or false game in Educaplay to revise key features of menus. However, it can also be done as a worksheet individually or in pairs.
