Lesson video

Hello, everybody.

I'm Miss Corbett, and welcome back to another English lesson.

Today's lesson is called "Designing a Sandwich," and I am so excited because we are going to get our creative and imagination brains going by thinking about what a design is, hmm.

And you're going to design your very own sandwich.

So I hope you aren't feeling too hungry.

For this lesson, I need you to have your listening ears, your thinking brains, and your looking eyes.

You will also need some paper.

It'll be great if your paper could just be plain paper.

And something to write or draw with.

Maybe you'll even want to get some colours.

Could you pause the video now to make sure you are ready to go? It looks to me like you're ready.

Are you ready to become a designer? Let's get started.

And here's the outcome for today's lesson.

I can design a sandwich with descriptive captions.

And these key words will help us to get there.

First, I want you to repeat them after me in your loud and proud voice.

My turn, your turn.

Design.

Noun.

Adjective.

Caption.

Fantastic, let's have a look at what some of those words mean.

A design is a drawing of a plan for what something is intended to look like, and you will have done a design by the end of today's lesson.

A noun is a naming word for a person, place, or thing.

And an adjective describes the noun.

A caption is a brief short description accompanying, so putting with, an image in non-fiction texts.

Let's get started with the first part of our lesson.

What is a design? So, today, you will design a sandwich that you would like to eat.

It's making me hungry just thinking about it.

I wonder, have you ever heard of the word design before? And have you ever designed anything? Can you talk to your person nearby or have a think in your head? Pause the video now.

I loved hearing about all of the things that you've designed.

And if you haven't designed before, today is the day.

A design is a drawing of a plan for what something is supposed to look like.

But before making something, it can be important to design it.

Designs really help you to: know what equipment and materials you'll need, decide what it will look like, and show you how you will make something.

Let's see if you were listening.

Why do people make designs? Is it, A, to plan what something will look like? Is it, B, to look at a nice picture? C, to know what materials or equipment you may need? Or, D, to show you how to make something? I think it might be more than one of these options.

Could you pause the video now and share what you think? Great discussion.

Let's see whether you got it right.

A design, people might make a design to plan what something will look like, to know what materials or equipment you may need, and to show you how to make something.

Although designs often look really nice, the purpose of them is not to look at a nice picture.

Let's have a look at some things that you might design.

Here's an example.

"I like to design my constructions before I build them." So maybe if you've got blocks or something like that, you're designing it first so you know just what it will look like.

"I designed what I wanted my gingerbread man that I was going to bake to look like." That's a great idea.

So you can decide about all of the decorations, the shape, and all of that as well.

"My auntie is an architect and she designs buildings." Let's hear more about an architect.

Can we say that word together? My turn, your turn.

Architect.

Brilliant.

An architect is a person who makes plans and designs for buildings like houses, schools, or even really tall skyscrapers.

They draw pictures of how the building will look and then figure out how to make it strong and safe.

So without architects and designs, buildings could not be built.

And here we've got a picture of the city of Durham, which is in the north of England.

And I can see so many buildings all looking quite different.

All of them will have been designed first by an architect before they were built.

I can see Durham Castle and I can see Durham Cathedral.

Let's have a think of another type of designer.

A car designer is a person who thinks of how cars should look and work.

They decide the parts you need, the shape, the colour, and other features.

So the design might look a little bit like this, and then it might turn into the real car, but we need the design first.

Here are some other things that you might design.

Food or meals like the gingerbread man, clothes, jewellery, toys, computer games, they all need designing first.

Can you think of anything else that you might design? Hmm, I'm going to give you five seconds to just have a think.

Five.

Brilliant.

We are really getting our creative ideas flowing.

So that means that designs are often made for a purpose.

This means that it's being designed for a reason.

So have a think.

Why might you want to design a new toy? Hmm.

Why might you want to do that? For what purpose? Could you pause the video now and share? Lovely sharing, everybody.

I might want to design a new toy because I might be bored of all of my other toys.

Or I might have an idea in my head using my imagination that I want to turn into real life, but first I must design it.

So we have talked about lots of different things you can design, from buildings to cars, to clothes, to food, to toys.

I want you to have a think.

If you could design anything, what would it be and why? So you will say, "I would like to design a," "because." Then listen to what someone else would like to design.

I really hope you can get your creative ideas going.

Pause the video now.

Wow, I think we have some real life designers who are aspiring to be designers when they're older.

What brilliant ideas.

Here are some ideas that I heard.

"I would like to design the fastest car in the world because I want to be a racecar driver." "I would like to design the warmest coats because I like to be outside, I do not like getting cold." What brilliant ideas.

Now, we're going to move on to generating adjectives to put into our design.

We are going to start to design your sandwich.

Now you know what a design is so that you can make your own delicious sandwich.

Here is what your design is going to look like.

You'll have a title at the top to say what it is.

"My sandwich." Well done.

Then you'll draw your design.

Then your design will be labelled with captions.

So your design will include what type of bread you would like, what filling you would, and how you will cut your sandwich.

Oh, I'm feeling very hungry.

Have a think about what your favourite kind of sandwich is.

Hmm, my favourite kind of sandwich is.

Could you pause the video now and share? Oh my goodness.

I can't wait to see these designs and see your delicious sandwiches.

Now you're going to have a think about which bread you would like.

So you've thought about your filling, what type of sandwich you will have.

Now you are going to think, I would like white bread or brown bread.

I would like white bread.

I would like brown bread.

Can you pause the video now and share? Oh, some children say that they would like white bread, and some people say they would like brown bread.

Great thinking.

White and brown are both adjectives, because they are describing the bread.

Bread is a thing, so bread is a noun, and it's being described by the type of bread it is, white bread or brown bread.

Now let's think about your filling and how you could describe it using an adjective.

Here are some fillings you might have thought of, cheese, jam, cucumber, or marmalade.

I know a bear who's from Peru that likes marmalade.

These are all nouns.

Would you choose any of these fillings? Which filling will you choose? So before we get to describing those nouns, hmm, complete this sentence.

Adjectives describe.

Is it, A, all words? B, nouns? C, other adjectives? Or, D, verbs? Hmm, pause the video now and have a think.

Off you go.

Let's see, adjectives describe nouns.

Well done if you got that.

So we can use our senses to choose adjectives for our fillings to add captions to your designs.

Remember, our senses are repeat after me.

Hearing.

Smell.

Sight.

Touch.

Taste.

Brilliant.

We know that a caption is a label or a description that goes with an image, and they're often found in a non-fiction writing piece, just like a design, because it's a real thing.

Here are some adjectives to describe those nouns.

Let's think about cheese.

Yellow cheese, what it looks like.

Savoury cheese, what it tastes like.

And savoury is the opposite to sweet.

Creamy cheese.

Now think about jam.

Red jam.

Fruity jam.

Sweet jam.

Fruity and sweet could describe both what it tastes like and what it smells like.

Now onto cucumber.

Green cucumber.

Fresh cucumber.

Crunchy cucumber.

Now have a think about marmalade.

Orange marmalade.

Tangy marmalade.

Sticky marmalade.

Those are some great adjectives.

I wonder whether you'll pinch any of those.

Have a think then about jam.

Which adjectives would best describe jam? Is it, A, crunchy? Crunchy jam.

Hmm.

B, sweet? Sweet jam.

C, yellow? Yellow jam.

D, fruity? Fruity jam.

Can you? I'm going to give you 10 seconds to choose two adjectives to best describe the jam.

10.

Five And zero.

Let's see if we got them.

I would choose sweet jam and fruity jam.

Jam isn't crunchy.

It doesn't make you go crunch, crunch, crunch.

And it's certainly not yellow.

Now, it's your turn to decide on what filling you will include.

Maybe you've thought about your favourite sandwich, but then you've changed your mind after we've thought about that cheese or cucumber or jam or marmalade.

And then think of adjectives to describe your filling using the senses.

We can't really think of one about what those fillings sound like.

So think about what they smell like, what they look like, what they taste like, and maybe what they feel like.

Pause the video now and have a think.

Off you go.

Fantastic, what brilliant adjectives.

Here is an example for cheese.

You might have smelling of strong cheese, looking like yellow cheese, tasting like creamy cheese, and feeling like smooth cheese.

Brilliant job.

Now we're going to move on to our final part of the lesson where you get to actually design your sandwich.

Let's what your design will look like.

You'll have a title at the top, "My sandwich." Then you will draw your sandwich, and then label it with captions.

Well, let's see if you remember.

What do you need to include in your sandwich design? We have got, A, a title.

B, a drawing of the sandwich.

C, captions.

Or, D, a story about the sandwich.

Hmm, I'm going to give you another 10 seconds to think if you can remember what your design needs to include.

My design needs to include a 10.

Five.

And zero.

Let's see.

Did you remember that your design will need a title, a drawing of the sandwich, and captions.

We know that a design is a non-fiction, a real thing.

So it's definitely not a story about the sandwich.

So you have decided your type of bread, white bread or brown bread.

Your filling, and how you will describe it, sticky marmalade, red jam.

The final thing you need to decide is, how you will cut your bread? Will you cut it in half horizontally? Will you cut it into four, or quarters, making square shapes? Will you cut it in half vertically? Or will you cut it in half diagonally? Oh, so many options.

Have a think.

Which are you going to choose? Great thinking.

Now the way that we have got it on the design here is that lines have been drawn to show how it's going to be cut.

So here are the steps to complete your design.

One, you will write your title, "My sandwich." Have a look at the spelling of sandwich.

It's sort of S spelled like sand-wich, sand-wich, put together.

Then you'll draw your sandwich.

Then you'll write captions to show the bread and filling you will use.

So you'll draw a line, and either write brown bread or white bread.

Then you will draw a line from your filling, crunchy cucumber, creamy cheese.

Finally, you will draw lines to show how you will cut your sandwich, down the middle, across the middle, diagonally or into quarters.

So now it's your turn to design your sandwich, including a title at the top, "My sandwich," a drawing of your sandwich, captions to show the bread and the filling you will use.

Then lines to show how you will cut your sandwich.

I can't wait to see your designs.

Pause the video now.

Brilliant.

What creative designs you've got.

Let's see if you remembered everything.

Here's an example.

"My sandwich" at the top, a drawing of my sandwich.

I can see captions that say "sweet jam," "white bread." I can see that this person has chosen to cut their sandwich in half horizontally.

And they even put a caption that says, "cut in half." Have a look at that design.

Did you remember to include everything? Could you pause the video now and either say, "Yes, I did," or make any changes to your design.

Pause the video now.

Brilliant job.

You have managed to create your own design today.

What a brilliant lesson.

We have learned that the design is a drawn and labelled plan for what something is supposed to look like when it's complete.

We know that the design includes labels or captions.

We also know that a design includes what materials or things you will need to make.

Make it with bread, cucumber, jam.

A noun is a naming word for people, places, and things such as cucumber.

And an adjective describes or adds detail to a noun which you have written in your caption, such as fresh cucumber.

What a brilliant lesson, and thank you so much for learning with me today.

I really hope to see you again soon.

Bye.
