Session description

Students collaborate in teams to create an EPUB cookbook showcasing traditional grandmother recipes. Each group writes three recipes in English, records audio narrations, films cooking videos with grandmothers, and crafts an animated “secret ingredient” story, blending language learning, storytelling, technology, and cultural heritage into one creative, meaningful project.

Outline

Introduction & Context (5 min): We begin by explaining the project, its objectives, and how it integrates language, technology, and culture. The audience participates by sharing their favorite family recipe to create a personal connection.
Recipe Writing (8 min): Examples of recipes written in English are presented. The audience suggests an ingredient, and a sample recipe line is drafted, encouraging active participation.
Audio Recording (5 min): Clips of students reading their recipes are played. The audience practices pronunciation by repeating short lines, experiencing audio production firsthand.
Cooking Video & Secret Ingredient Story (10 min): iMovie clips show students cooking under grandmother supervision, along with animations about the “secret ingredient.” The audience reflects and votes on which special ingredient they would choose.
EPUB Creation (7 min): The interactive digital cookbook is showcased, combining recipes, audio, videos, and animations. The audience explores the content interactively, navigating chapters and multimedia links.
Q&A & Reflection (5 min): The audience is invited to ask questions and reflect on the learning outcomes related to language, technology, and cultural heritage.
Total Time: 35 minutes. Each segment includes at least one interactive activity, using live polls, peer interaction, voting, and digital exploration.
