Teacher Key
Packages
After the initial recap, the students, in pairs, start looking for the elements they can often find in food packages. Working in pairs allows students more time with their peers, sharing their answers before being exposed to the whole classroom and finding the knowledge in themselves, instead of always relying on the teacher. The same phenomenon takes place later on the activity, when they share their conclusions about the nutritional-facts grid.
"Teach-ok" is a classroom strategy used later on in the activity to help students memorise fixed definitions the students already understood. Visual aids are also used to help learners understand what they are told in L2.
SESSION 2
The second session is devoted to deepening into what the nutrients are and their importance to grow and live healthy.
Objective of the lesson: To learn the function of the nutrients
Worksheet
Think before you drink is a very attractive activity to the children, because not only do they get a chance to experiment with real material (they manipulate the sugar cubs, and they see the cans/bottles), but the fact that they can make inferences intrigues them to find out about the result of their inferences.

Graph and pictures
Healthy Diet
This optional activity is a good activity where they can apply what they have been learning until now. It is a very visual way to understand what we need to eat in a day and how our diets need to be balanced to help us grow and live healthy.
In addition, the fact that the students themselves can also make inferences and guesses makes them retrieve what they learned, and they can also come to the front of the class to place the amount of nutrients of each mean on the graph.
