Lesson Introduction: Fast Food in Australia

Welcome to Our Delicious Adventure!

Hello, Year 3! 🍔🍟 Today, we’re going to take a delicious journey into the world of fast food in Australia! Fast food is something many of us enjoy, but there’s so much more to it than just tasty burgers and crispy chips!

Lesson Objectives

By the end of our lesson, you will learn:

1. The History of Fast Food: When did it start and how has it changed?
2. Types of Common Fast Food: What do Australians love to eat on the go?
3. Advantages and Disadvantages of Eating Fast Food: Is it good for us or not?

Setting the Stage

Let’s kick things off with a mini adventure! Imagine you’re in a time machine and we’re zooming back to when fast food first opened in Australia. We’ll land in the 1970s, where you’ll see long lines of people waiting at a brand-new fast-food shop. What do you think they are feeling? Excited? Curious?

Brain Teaser: What’s Your Favourite?

Before we dive deeper into our topics, let’s have a quick discussion:

• What’s your favourite fast food meal?
• Why do you enjoy it?

Feel free to draw a picture or write a short list of your favourite items. At the end of the lesson, we’ll share our thoughts and see if we can create a “Year 3 Fast Food Menu” together!

Fast Food Timeline Activity

To help us understand the history, let's create a big timeline on the board. We can add important dates and pictures of our favourite fast food items. This way, we’ll have a visual guide to see how fast food has become a part of Australian culture!

Are you ready? Grab your thinking caps, and let’s leap into the wonderful world of fast food! 🎉
