Introduction
|
|
| |
This learning
activity is focused on developing a picture
book about a particular food production from
seed to production and manufacturing. The
book will also promote the importance of
physical activity in our daily lifestyle.
Students should focus on the different people
involved in food manufacturing eg. the growers,
transporters, pickers, factory workers etc.
and reflect on the physical activity they
do everyday as part of food manufacture and
give examples. Where relevant, students should
also provide suggestions on how physical
activity levels could be increased (eg: how
could a truck driver who is fairly sedentary
increase his/her physical activity over the
day). |
|
| |
|
|
| |
Background
|
|
| |
The picture books
will include information such as:
|
|
Name of the food |
| |
|
How the food is grown, collected,
transported and processed |
The picture books will include information
such as:
|
|
Promote physical
activity or how the food contributes
to a healthy lifestyle |
| |
|
The daily activity required
to be done during each part of food manufacturing
process and how these differ from each
other |
| |
|
Are there any opportunities
to increase physical activity involved
in the various parts of food manufacture? |
For example a truck driver needs to check the
loads on the truck which requires him/her to
get out of the truck and walk around a bit.
Are there any ways students can suggest that
the truck driver could increase his/her physical
activity?
Students will need to research for this activity
to find out about grains, production, manufacturing
and recipes. Students can conduct this research
via the Internet – see some of the websites
below to help support students investigation.
They may also be able to try the library or
by writing to actual food industries. Remember
to make sure students also consider the daily
activities involved in food manufacture and
if there are any opportunities to increase
physical activity.
Students should be able to use the computer,
clipart and original drawings or scanned images
to help produce their picture book. They could
record their voice and use the talking interface
and listen function of Inspiration® V7
to create an interactive talking picture book.
PowerPoint is another program, which could
be used to create an electronic picture book. |

Learning
Task
|
|
| |
|
|
The class will create
a series of picture books that illustrate
the process of food production and manufacture
of a chosen food |
| |
|
Discuss firstly, what grains are. Students
could demonstrate how corn can be changed
from a kernel to popcorn, using actual
food pictures or illustrations. Encourage
student’s to think about other
ways corn kernels are used |
| |
|
Students can brainstorm and list other
foods that can be made from grains and
what the grain products are
|
| |
|
Students can develop a simple recipe
using this food and provide information
on food preparation methods to include
in the picture book |
| |
|
Develop picture book.
The way the book is produced and developed
is up to the students. However it is
suggested that they explore other picture
books first. Some key questions you
may ask:
| • |
What do
you like about the picture book? |
| • |
What makes this a picture
book? |
| • |
How long is it? |
| • |
What are the best features? |
|
| |
|
Students share and present their book
to the class. |
|
