Recipe for peace

Year level: Lower Primary/ Middle Primary Learning outcomes Students will use procedural writing to express the key components and actions for peace. Brainstorm a list of ‘ingredients’ that could help make a peaceful world and some actions that could be done with these ingredients – ‘methods’. Add to the list through sharing personal experiences, photos, stories and/or visiting speaker. Revise procedural writing for reading and writing a recipe (this might include sequence of events and use of verbs to start sentences) Create a ‘recipe’, in small groups, with words and/or symbols using ‘ingredients’ and methods from the class list. This might be done using a computer template (Title, Preparation, Method) and inserting clip art of digital photos taken by students to illustrate their recipe. Share recipes and try ‘cooking’ a new one each day. Assessment task Role play a situation which shows making a recipe and enjoying the results. Observe students ability to apply their learning in times of conflict.
