2. Explore
Activity:
Group Research: Divide students into small groups and assign each group a specific
type of sandwich (e.g., cold sandwich, hot sandwich, open-faced sandwich, etc.).
Research Tasks: Each group will research:
o The history of their assigned sandwich.
o Common ingredients and variations.
o Preparation and presentation techniques.
Discussion Prompts:
What did you learn about the origin of your sandwich?
How does the preparation method affect the taste and presentation?
Are there any cultural influences on your sandwich type?
Purpose:
This phase encourages students to investigate and collaborate to gather information, fostering
critical thinking and teamwork.
3. Explain
Activity:
Group Presentations: Each group will present their findings to the class, explaining
their sandwich type, ingredients, preparation, and cultural significance.
Class Discussion: After each presentation, facilitate a discussion to clarify concepts and
highlight key points.
Discussion Prompts:
How do different types of sandwiches cater to various dietary needs?
In what ways can sandwiches be adapted for different occasions or cultures?
What similarities and differences did you notice among the different types of
sandwiches?
Purpose:
This phase allows students to articulate their understanding and learn from their peers,
reinforcing the classification of sandwiches.
4. Elaborate
Activity:
Create Your Own Sandwich: Students will create their own unique sandwich,
incorporating elements from the types they learned about.
Documentation: They will document:
o Ingredients used.
o Preparation method.
o A brief explanation of the classification of their sandwich.
Discussion Prompts:
How did you decide on the ingredients for your sandwich?
What classification does your sandwich fall under and why?
How does your sandwich reflect your personal taste or cultural background?
Purpose:
This phase encourages creativity and application of learned concepts, allowing students to
synthesize their knowledge in a practical way.
5. Evaluate
Activity:
Peer Review: Students will exchange their sandwich documentation with a partner for
feedback based on a rubric that assesses classification accuracy, creativity, and
presentation.
Reflection: Students will write a short reflection on what they learned about sandwich
classification and the creative process.
Discussion Prompts:
What was the most challenging part of creating your sandwich?
How did peer feedback help improve your understanding of sandwich classification?
Purpose:
This phase allows for self-assessment and peer evaluation, helping students to reflect on their
learning journey.
