FOREIGN INSTRUCTOR OF ESL. DATE: May 18, 2012 LESSON NAME: THE SANDWICH CELEBRATES ITS 250TH BIRTHDAY
Overview & Purpose
Education Standards Addressed
Today we are going to use a lesson plan previously taught in Shanghai, China. The plan is to elicit daily conversation of student views on the English sandwich and other foods. This lesson plan will elicit the effective practices of creating ESL dialogue between South Korean students.
What state/county education standards that this lesson satisfies.
The students will learn about how to speak English more effectively. This will be useful in establishing proper pronunciation.
The sandwich is 250 years old this weekend and residents in the English town of Sandwich, where the bread meal was first eaten, are celebrating their culinary history. According to the town’s records the English nobleman Earl, John Montague first ordered a sandwich in 1762. It is reported he was playing cards with friends and wanted something he could eat without a knife and fork. He requested slices of beef between two pieces of bread, and so the sandwich was born. Montague chose to live in Sandwich over another port town, Portsmouth. Had he chosen the latter, we would be eating portsmouths today. It is perhaps a coincidence Sandwich is just a few kilometres from the town of Ham.
