SPANISH FOOD PROJECT

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)
