Read a recipe. Comprehend ingredients, measurements, and preparation instructions. Students list information they expect to find in a recipe. Students share ideas in small groups and with class. Students go to web site, select a country, and then a recipe from that country and find the needed information.
Students use vocabulary strategies to increase comprehension.
Students rewrite recipe in Spanish, converting measurements and instructions to more familiar terms, and providing a Spanish-English key of ingredients and cooking terms included in their recipe. Students prepare a dish at home and bring it to class or describe it to the class. Turn in items 1-9 today. In this activity we will be visiting a web site to find recipes for native dishes from Spanish speaking countries and creating our own cookbook. Select la cocina por paises .
