Pancakes (didattica a distanza)

Questo distacco forzato dalla scuola ci chiede di trovare nuovi modi per fare didattica a distanza.
Ho attivato diversi padlet con link ad attività da svolgere, ma anche con qualche idea giocosa per fare inglese divertendosi.
Settimana scorsa ho condiviso con i bambini la ricetta in inglese del salame di cioccolato. Visto il successo della prima ricetta, oggi ho preparato la un mini tutorial per cucinare i pancakes.
