Life Skills Visual Recipes - Reading - Special Education Cooking - GOOGLE Unit 3

Are you looking to teach your students some real world reading skills? Reading recipes is an excellent way to get students engaged with this very important life skill. Although there are many kinds of recipes out there, students with trouble reading can get easily overwhelmed with the amount of information on a page. With these fun DIGITAL VISUAL RECIPES, students can get an opportunity to follow along with step by step pictures visually outlining what to do. 

This activity is specifically formatted to be used with Google Drive and is compatible with Google Classroom. Google Drive is an amazing resource that many educators are now using as an interface to support 1:1 digital instruction in the classroom. I pair it up with Google Classroom (a free website) that allows me to digitally send each student in my class a copy of the worksheets that they later submit to me for grading. With this lesson, students are able to drag and drop images into their correct locations. Additionally, they are able to drag and drop circles to highlight their answers to questions they are asked. It is an amazing paper-free process and the kids LOVE working on these worksheets on the computer.

Each of these visual recipe sets focuses on TWO simple recipes students can make. This specific activity will teach students how to make Seven Layer Dip and a Egg in a Hole. Each recipe comes with a variety of worksheets that are differentiated for students of different ability levels. Please check out the preview to see a sample of the activities included in this download.

Cooking is a great life skill for students to master - engage all your learners with this all-inclusive download! As an extension activity, you can practice cooking these recipes with your students to build even more hands on instruction into your classroom. This is a great download for any teacher looking to bring more real world instruction into their lessons, all while increasing student engagement and motivation in the process as well!
