Objectives: to practise making predictions; 
to generate interest in the origin of food
It is better to do this activity with the textbooks closed. 
Show the pictures of Avicenna and Alexander the Great. Ask the 
questions: Who are the people in the picture? Who do you think made the 
first palov? Listen to a number of answers but do not spend too much

most important thing is that Avicenna was a doctor in Central Asia and 
Alexander the Great was a king.

DVD script:
1) Some people say Alexander the Great’s cook was the first person 
to cook palov. One day Alexander the Great was hungry. His soldiers 
were hungry too. Alexander the Great said to his cook, “Please cook 
something special”. The cook took rice, oil, carrots, meat and onions 
and made palov. All the soldiers liked it and they ate a lot. Now palov 
is many people’s favourite meal. 
2) Some people say Avicenna made the first palov. A sick man 
came to Avicenna and asked for help. Avicenna looked at him and 
checked his health. Then he said, “Take rice, oil, carrots, meat and 
onions and cook them. Add some water. When it’s ready, eat it. Do 
this often. This meal makes you strong.” This was the first palov. 
People in Uzbekistan eat it often and it makes them strong.
