Cooking recipes

In this recipe, I suggest that we write a cooking recipe based on the pictures of food shown. It is very difficult to choose a meal that all the students want us to cook, especially if they live in a cosmopolitan city.

Let's choose some vegetables that can be used in different meals. Depending on their preferences, they will be able to write different recipes.

Getting ready

Having used the Journal, carrying out this activity is relatively easy. We will select either the images of some vegetables from clipart or any other free images of vegetables that we can download from the Internet (I have quoted some interesting websites where we can download free images in previous recipes). So we are going to choose the Weekly outline section where we can design the activity. Let's Moodle it!

How to do it...

First of all, choose the clipart of vegetables in Microsoft Word for some recipes that your students could try to cook at home.

An alternate method is selecting some free images from any website, linking the website, or uploading the images by clicking on the icon that inserts the images. After the images are inserted, follow these steps:

  1. Click on Add an activity and select Journal.
  2. Complete the Journal name block.
  3. Then complete the Journal question block with the description of the activity, as shown in the following screenshot:
  4. Make sure that you upload the clipart from Microsoft Word or link the website depending on your choice.
  5. Click on Save and return to course.
  6. The activity is ready for your students to work on.

How it works...

When your students click on the activity, they will read the title and they can see the pictures that you have uploaded. They can also visit websites containing the pictures of the different vegetables. Afterwards, they are going to write the cooking recipe. They can also express their opinion about their likes and dislikes.
