In groups, students read the attached text about Latin American Cuisine and answered questions on second page. Anything they didn't finish in the given time is homework.

Most recipes are written using commands (cook over low heat, put in the oven, add flour). I presented conjugation for usted commands in Spanish:

Step 3: add -e for ar verbs or -a for er/ir verbs

ej. cocine, mezcle, añada, ponga
