PROYECTO
DE LA COMIDA
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 food/dish from any Spanish speaking region of the world. In
your research, you must find the answer to all of the following questions, and
write them in one- two paragraphs (total) using complete Spanish sentences.
a. ¿Cómo
se llama la comida?
b. ¿Cómo
es la comida? (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? (¿Cuándo se come la comida, por qué es especial?)
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 the food is made.
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 “yo” or “tú” form.
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. I will check your
grammar and vocabulary!
CRÉDITO EXTRA: Bring in la comida for the class to try. You can either bring what
you have prepared yourself, or you can buy la comida at a grocery store or Spanish/ Latin American restaurant. (10
points)
