Food and Drink Picture Quiz
a) Aims
Ss activate prior knowledge of food and drink vocabulary and recall the quantity expressions they have studied in Unit 5.
b) Content
Ss look at pictures of eggs, flour, water, rice, milk, apples and vegetables. In pairs, Ss answer the questions:
- What food is this?
- Is it countable or uncountable?
- How would you ask about the quantity of this food? (e.g. How many eggs do we need? How much water is in the jug?)
c) Expected outcomes
Ss name each food and classify it correctly:
- Countable (plural): eggs, apples, vegetables
- Uncountable: flour, water, rice, milk
Ss give example questions: How many eggs do we need? / How much flour do we need? / How much water is in the jug?
