- The unit starts with laying out memory cards depicting food of the medieval period (accessible vocabulary pairs: cherry, cheese, chicken, cake, apple); there are total 8 cards (real food as presentation is not recommended due to hygiene and possibly starving hungry students)
- The kids take turns and are supposed to name the pairs they find
- In the end, each kid will have a pair of cards and one pair will be left over
- Ultimately it will be discussed what happens to the leftover pair, will the food be discarded/wasted?
- A final act is the drama block: kids will decide what happens to the leftovers (and if there’s a King/Queen: what will happen to their surplus when considering that they are capable to only eat as much as the other)
- There are open-ended outcomes but a typical example would be that the kids are not likely to waste the food and distribute it evenly as Robin Hood and the King give up (the teacher should observe that there is no actual fighting)
