Explain to students today we will be beginning a new

topic, in which we will use our knowledge from safe
food practices from the previous topic. Ask students to
discuss with a partner why food safety is important and
then raise hands to inform myself and the class. To
cater for cultural differences and diversity pair ESL
students from Lithuania with the two Australian
students who can provide ESL students with support
and cultural knowledge.
Explain to students the topic we are staring today is
Food in Australia. During this lesson we will be
investigating Australian native foods and modifying a
recipe. Ask students how they would define bush food,
the term native and what they know about traditional
and contemporary use of native bush food.

With their cooking partner students are given a scone
recipe, which they must modify to include a native
ingredient, taking ingredient quantity into
consideration. They also list the utensils they believe
they would need and highlight the key food preparation
processes in the method section. Students present their
ideas to the class in pairs. The teacher then displays a
copy of the completed recipe with the required utensils
to ensure students have these listed correctly.
