Fast Food Bring a menu from a fast food restaurant to school. Discuss with children how the restaurant would choose things to put on the menu. Record a list of important elements of the menu, e.g. variety, price, photographs. Children vote for their favourite food on the menu. Discuss the reasons for their choices.
Children think of ways to improve the menu.
Record information from the survey and the children's recommendations in a letter from the class to the fast food outlet. Read The Enormous Hamburger in Bookclub . Draw a hamburger and label all the things in the hamburger. Print out the food plan and encourage the children to record food they have eaten each day for a week. Then work together to list the food under headings such as fruit, vegetables, meat, drink, snack food.
