What's for Dinner?

This task is good to teach home life skills. Making weekly menus is important to help with grocery lists and learning to make balanced meals. I made a list of several main items and a list of enough vegetables for them to make 7 complete meals (1 main + 2 sides) The student chooses from the list then writes their choices on a copied weekly menu. Next they use the plate visual marked with the day of the week and place the items that they have chosen on the plate, putting a knife, fork, and spoon on the placemat.
