Growing food project

3A, 3B + 3C

Make a video explaining to the class how to grow a vegetable

INSTRUCTIONS

1. Make groups of 3
2. Write down names and list number on paper. Your teacher will tell you which number and vegetable you are

QUESTIONS In your videos, show the answer to these questions. You should do it, not only explain! Where should you plant it? What should you add to the soil? How do you plant it? (how deep in soil? How many seeds? How far apart do you plant each plant?) How long until it’s ready? What can you do to help it grow? What are the advantages of growing it?

NUMBER	VEGETABLE
1	Tomato
2	Onion
3	Spinach
4	Lettuce
5	Chile
6	Courgette
7	Cucumber
8	Carrot
9	Radish

TIME: Minimum 1 minute, maximum 3 minutes

TIPS

• Search the internet for information, and also use www.rhs.org.uk/Gardening/Grow-Your-Own or www.growyourown.co.uk/
• Show how to plant it in your video (you can buy seeds in “La casa de la mora” in the centre, but if you don’t have seeds, use an alternative)
• Make sure you can hear the video clearly. Film in a quiet place, speak close to the camera and speak loudly. All students must speak.
