Spanish Cultural Foods Project
This project was something we did in my Spanish 2 class. We had been learning about food and how to describe it in Spanish. So in order to put that information into practice, we had to write a menu in Spanish. We had to choose to research Spanish, Mexican, or Peruvian cultural foods and create a "menu" containing six foods with descriptions in Spanish. This project used global awareness skills and informational skills. We had to research the different food using different resources online or in books. We also had to understand and make sure it was an authentic cultural dish and its importance. We had to learn about the mealtime structures of the culture and see the difference between ours and theirs. It also used our self-directional skills, as we had to work solo on this project and use our time effectively in and out of class.
