PROYECTO
DE LA COMIDA
Project due
date: March 7 / 8, 2018
Congratulations!
Univision (a Spanish-language T.V. channel) has caught wind of what a talented
chef you are. They would like to welcome you and one to two of your chef
friends onto their talk show ¡Despierta, America! But don’t get too excited
just yet, there are several things that you need to do to prepare yourself for
this big break.
1. Introducción
a la comida y el país de origen: You and 2-3 others will research a
dish or beverage from any Spanish speaking region of the world. In
your research, you must find the answer to all the following questions, and
write them in at least two paragraphs using complete sentences.
a. ¿Cómo
se llama la comida/ la bebida?
b. ¿Cómo
es la comida/ la bebida? (Escribir una descripción detallada)
c. ¿Es
buena para la salud o mala para la salud? ¿Por qué? (¿Qué vitaminas tiene? /
¿Tiene muchas calorías/ mucha grasa?)
d. ¿De
dónde es la comida/ la bebida?
e. ¿Cuáles
son las influencias culturales de la comida?
f. Cite
all sources used to gather information.
2. La
receta: After researching a dish, you must write out a 5 (minimum) to
10 (maximum) step recipe telling exactly how one makes this food.
a. If it is a
simple dish, you must expand it to 5 steps.
b. If it is a
complicated dish, you should condense to 10 steps maximum.
c. You must
conjugate each verb in the USTED command form. (textbook p. 259)
3. La
presentación: After your research and recipe translation is complete,
you and your group members must write out a script IN SPANISH of what you are
going to say to present your recipe to the world when you are on air. You may
present this in class, or you may record and edit this at home and send it to
Ms. Riordan electronically. There is no limit to how short or long the
presentation is, however it must include the following pieces:
a. A
step-by-step walk through of how you make the dish/ drink.
b. A brief
explanation of where it comes from and the food in that country.
c. Each group
member must have roughly the same number of lines.
d. Some sort
of visual display of the food/ drink being made. (You can use real food for
this part, or you can create props using pictures, play food, etc)
e. All text
must be in Spanish.
CRÉDITO EXTRA: Bring in la comida or la
bebida for the class to try. You can either bring what you
have prepared yourself, or you can buy la comida or la
bebida at a grocery store or Spanish/ Latin American restaurant. *If
you would like to make the food as part of your in-class presentation please
see me! (10 points)
