Plan a meal to a brief

How can we plan a meal that fits a practical brief?

  • Today is a planning and evaluation lesson; no food needs to be handled.

Learning intention

Success criteria

  • I can choose components that fit the fictional brief.
  • I can add the given costs and identify preparation checks.
  • I can explain one change using evidence.

Add the given costs

  • Invented classroom costs: wrap 70p, apple 30p, yoghurt 25p.
  • 70p + 30p + 25p = 125p = £1.25.
  • The brief allows £1.50, so 25p remains.
Reveal the model
What a good answer can look likeNo: 140p + 30p + 25p = 195p = £1.95.
