Lesson Introduction: The Fast Food Adventure

Introduction: Welcome to the World of Fast Food!

Good morning, Year 9 Food Technology students! Today, we're embarking on an exciting culinary journey to explore the world of fast food. Fast food is a staple in modern society, known for its convenience and accessibility. However, it’s not just about grabbing a burger and fries; there’s a lot more to it!

The Fast Food Challenge

Objective

To kick off our lesson, I’d like to hear your thoughts on fast food. But first, let’s set the stage with The Fast Food Challenge!

Activity

  1. Split the Class: Divide the class into small groups of 4 or 5 students.
  2. Brainstorming Session: Each group will have 5 minutes to brainstorm and list as many fast food items as they can think of. Don’t forget to include a mix of local Australian favourites and international hits!
  3. Share and Discuss: After brainstorming, each group will present their list to the class. During this time, consider these questions:
    • What common ingredients do you see?
    • Are there any health concerns associated with these foods?
    • Which fast food items do you think are most popular among your peers?

Reflecting on Fast Food

Once we share our findings, we will reflect on the impact of fast food on our health, environment, and culture. This discussion will set the stage for our deeper dive into food technology and the ways we can innovate and improve the fast food industry.

Transition to Learning

By participating in The Fast Food Challenge, you have not only warmed up your brains but also laid the groundwork for our lesson on food technology and the fascinating role it plays in creating, improving, and understanding fast food. Let’s get ready to transform your ideas into knowledge and skills that can innovate the fast food landscape!

Let's dive in! What do you think about the fast food industry, and how can food technology make a difference?
