Eat It Up: Teaching Food Differences from English Speaking Countries
This can be a worksheet and/or role play.

Worksheet: Hand out a menu with common foods from the English culture you’re exploring. Exercise by ordering food off the menu.

Role Play: Choose a common cultural food to make and get students to narrate a step-by-step recipe. The cooking activity will also help students review or incorporate simple commands. For example: “Mix salt and sugar into the dough,” “Add chocolate chips.”

Summing up the unit
An end-of-the-quarter (or end of the unit) party to celebrate is always a hit.

Split the class into groups of 4  Each should have two assignments: make a dish (or bring a drink) and act out one of the seven culture activities (greetings, timing, food, social circumstances, history, transportation, music and Literature).

It can  be a structured and performed role play,/ readers theatre/ there could be audience participation or it could be a song or movie review . Trust your pupils to invent something fun and engaging.

The party can start with some light chatting and heavy snacking (all in English, of course).

After this, students will present their artistic representations of one aspect of the  American culture.

Depending on how much time you have and your students’ personalities, you can add in more activities, like party games such as charades or a dance party with typical music from the American  culture.

Thanksgiving has been around for a long time, and so have Thanksgiving proclamations. Students can write their own "Thanksgiving Proclamation" is a great way to get into the spirit of gratitude. Writing a proclamation sounds hard, but it's really nothing more than a statement of what they are thankful for.
Start by asking your students to make a list of what they're thankful for. Encourage them to think of things big and small, such as a warm and cozy house to live in, mom and/or dad, siblings, friends, books to read, plenty to eat,   Get them to share their lists in groups of four . Encourage them to think beyond themselves (their iPod may be at the top of the list but here's your chance to help them think a little more deeply about meaningful topics)
Let them create a poster or a slide in which they build a proclamation combining their ideas of what they feel is important to share with the rest of the class.
Hang the posters/slides around the room and ask the students to stand by the poster they can best relate to.

Speaking Activity about Thanksgiving

The National Day of Thanksgiving in America is a beautiful holiday. It contains a good spirit and noble message. It is not a holiday of any particular religion. It is not a Christian or Jewish holiday but it has many deeply religious and spiritual meanings. America at thanksgiving is America at its best. It is unfortunate that like many other moral and spiritual things this holiday is also turned nowadays into too much indulgence and commercialism. It is important that we remember and remind others about the spirit of thanksgiving.

What the spirit of Thanksgiving should be?

1.    Thanksgiving in Islam :  In what forms can it be seen ? Explain ?

Thanksgiving in the holy Qur’an

Access Amal Achva Gilboa 2023

The Qur’anic word for thanks is shukr. It is mentioned in the Qur’an many times. It is the quality of human beings and it is also the quality of Allah. According to scholars, shukr means the consideration of the favor and its acknowledgment. Shukr from the human means the recognition of the favor. Shukr from Allah means the reward and appreciation.

Shukr is a very important principle in Islam. It is a quality of the believers and it is a source of all goodness. Shukr is used in the Qur’an sometimes as equivalent to faith. The faithful are thankful people and the unfaithful are ungrateful people. Allah has described His prophets and messengers among those who were thankful people. Prophet Noah was a grateful servant of Allah (Al-Israa’ 17:3). Prophet Abraham used to thank Allah for His many blessings (Al-Nahl 16:121). Prophet David and his family were told to be grateful to Allah (Saba’ 34:13). Allah told His Prophet Muhammad: (Nay, but worship Allah, and be of those who give thanks) (Az-Zumar 39:66).

Last year at this time, I showed you how to create a Thanksgiving acrostic poem. Here's a variation that helps your kids focus on reasons to be thankful.

When you're scrambling around the kitchen on Thanksgiving Day and the children are underfoot, sit them down at the kitchen table with this activity.

Directions

Write the words I AM THANKFUL vertically on a sheet of lined paper. Using each of the letters, make an acrostic

1. Each line can be one word, a phrase, or a sentence. There's no right or wrong, as you can see from the examples below.

2. If children are having trouble thinking of words, use tools like magazines, catalogs, a thesaurus, or word lists to prompt ideas.

3. Poems can be left-aligned or centered.

4. Afterwards, illustrate your acrostics or decorate the page with photos cut from a magazine.

Example: A Thankful Heart

Example: I Am Thankful

Example: Gratitude

I want to thank God for

A ll His wonderful blessings, like His
M ercy and grace and compassion. For simple things like...

T oast and cocoa. For big things like...
H ope in a dark world. For blessings like...
A warm, cozy home filled with love.
N ine fun cousins!
K eeping me safe.
F riends that are closer than brothers. I want to always lift
U p praise to Him with a thankful heart, knowing how much He
L oves me.
