Now, put the steps in the recipe back in the correct order! (Action verbs are indicated in bold)

1. With a bamboo rolling mat covered in plastic wrap, gently shape the roll by pressing the forefingers on top of the mat while simultaneously pressing the thumbs and middle fingers on the sides.
2. Repeat with the scallions.
3. Flip the seaweed over so that the rice is facing down.
4. Place the nori horizontally on the work surface, making sure that the rough side is facing upwards.
5. Serve with wasabi and pickled ginger if desired.
6. Place the bacon on the nori in the same fashion as the tuna strips.
7. Slice the roll into 6-8 pieces.
8. With damp fingertips, place your thumbs underneath the nori while grasping the fillings with all other fingertips. Roll the bottom of the nori just over the fillings, making sure to tightly tuck the fillings under the fold. Continue rolling the first fold until it reaches the top edge of the nori.
9. Remove the apple strips from the dressing and pat dry. Place the apple strips on the nori.
10. Place the tuna horizontally in the middle of the nori, making sure that it extends to both edges of the nori.
11. Lightly dip your fingertips in cold water, cover the entire surface with an even, thin layer of sushi rice.

F. Create your own recipe

• Each person in the team will in turn receive a set of ingredients (listed on a card) and will have a few minutes to come up with a creative and appealing recipe including ALL of those ingredients.


• The person in the other team receives the same ingredients.

The rest of the group will act as audience and vote for the most tempting recipe.

IN-CLASS ONLY

Do this activity in class with 3-4 partners.

II. QUIZZES

Speaking

H. Create a quiz

Instructions.

In groups, create your own test or quiz. If you are with your group for the final project, you can create a quiz that could later be included in your project.

You can use the model provided above, or ask questions with multiple answers.

IN-CLASS ONLY

Do this activity in class with 3-4 partners.

By now you should have almost finished writing. You need to schedule a group meeting to make sure you are all on track.

You also need to start the editing process: Re-read each other’s work, suggest improvements or changes, and then once you are all comfortable with the content, put everything together, making sure the formatting is consistent throughout and the information logical. Then look at the end result critically and make any necessary adjustments.

Keep an eye out for content that is plagiarized, whether consciously or not, as this will be severely penalized and you are all responsible for the entire project.
