food

Students arrived and completed the activity below.
Circle the one that doesn't make sense.

1. a) gaseosa b) té c) chocolate d) jugo de naranja
2. a) manzana b) lechuga c) fresa d) uva
3. a) puerco b) pollo c) aguacate d) res
4. a) sandía b) cebolla c) lechuga d) zanahorias
5. a) pan b) arroz c) ciruela d) papa

Students were given a similar but different partial menu (attached). Each menu only contained half of the pricing information, so students had to ask each other "¿cuánto cuesta el té con limón?" while the other student answered. Once we were done, reviewed menus, definitions and prices as a class.

Tarea: continue to work on vocabulary related to food that we've been working on the last month. Students will be taking a test shortly on food vocabulary.

Students arrived at class and there were around 40 words on the board related to our food unit. Students were to write down any words they didn't know and ask for definitions, using phrase ¿Qué significa...? Words included:

cuchillo
cuchara
servilleta
vaso

sandía

In teams, students competed to identify word that was described using a flyswatter.

Tarea: over break, students should make flashcards or use whatever method works for them to memorize food-related vocabulary.

Students matched up vocabulary below as their warm up activity:

desayuno beans
comida lunch
lechuga rice
ensalada breakfast
arroz dinner
frijoles food/meal
almuerzo salad
papas lettuce
cena potatoes

Students presented their food pyramid and menu to the class. Other students listened and answered questions after each presentation.

Introduced new vocabulary regarding place setting:
tenedor -- fork
cuchillo -- knife
cuchara -- spoon
servilleta -- napkin
vaso -- glass
plato -- plate

Students each got a white board and I described a word related to food that students wrote on their board.

Tarea: review food vocabulary including: fruits, veggies, meat, carbs, dairy products, desserts, place settings, breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Sorry parents, I've gotten behind on posting lessons but will make sure that I'm posting each class this coming quarter. Students handed in their book about themselves today and we will be adding a few more pages and publishing them within the next few weeks.

In groups, students were given a large poster and were to draw the food pyramid with a few labeled foods in each category. Students then had to come up with a day's menu (desayuno, almuerzo, cena) following the food pyramid guidelines. They will present their menu on Monday.

Tarea: complete their food pyramid poster if they haven't already. If students did not hand in their books, make sure to bring it in Monday.
