En el restaurante
|
Objective
- Familiarize
students with Spanish restaurants and menu vocabulary
Notes
- In
Antes de navegar, you have to tell students
what their food allowance is in pesetas
for their night out in the Spanish city of their
choice. Randomly assign each student one of
the following amounts: 3,000 pesetas
($20); 3,700 pesetas ($25); 4,500 pesetas
($30); 5,300 pesetas ($35), 6,000 pesetas
($40), or other amounts of your choosing. Please
note that the currency conversion rates are
approximate. If you want students to use exact
amounts, have them convert the dollars to pesetas
using the Universal Currency Converter™
link in Chapter 6.
-
Since
students are on a budget, tell them to go
directly to the menus for each restaurant
to determine whether or not they can afford
to eat there.
-
As
you know, restaurant vocabulary is often very
difficult. Encourage students to do their
best to figure out the menu as they order
dinner at the restaurant of their choice.
In the Después de navegar activity,
they are asked to look up any unknown words
from the menu in the dictionary. They may
be surprised by what they ordered!
-
Allow
students to write down any features of the
restaurant for Características del
restaurante in the chart on their worksheet.
They might want to describe the food specialties,
ambience, location of the restaurant, number
of rooms, etc.
