| Title | Resources for Teaching about Food in Spanish |
| Body | FLTEACH users have written the following ideas and resources for teaching a unit on food in Spanish: --- I use plastic food - I have a collection from my son's preschool days of various food items, plus pots, pans, plates and utensils. We do home meal situations and restaurant situations, and also review gustar and colors, since some of the plastic food has some interesting colors (the cabbage is REALLY purple, for example). Home meals you can recycle family vocab, too. I'll also just hand out various food items after giving the vocab and ask the class who has a certain thing - so they get to practice tener, too - or do commands and do things such as ask the person with the steak to give it to another student.

Foreign Language Teaching Forum listserv (FLTEACH@LISTSERV.BUFFALO.EDU, 31 Dec 2006). --- I divide the class in groups of 3. Each group picks a name for their restaurant and writes their own menu, with prices and all. They also make an ad to advertise their restaurant and they much write a 5-8 minute skit to either present to the class or videotape for the class to watch later. One of the students would play "el mesero" and the other 2 "los clientes". Then as a culmination of their activity each group brings one dish from their menu and we sample all of the dishes.

Include main dishes, salads, sweets, drinks, etc. Moubarek, M. Re: menu/food.

Surveys on eating habits, to determine who is not eating enough fruits or veggies are done. Students do a Venn diagram with the old and the new pyramid and they compare it and contrast it. Most of the nutrition terms are cognates colesterol, proteínas, carbohidratos, etc.... They create healthy daily menus for the class. I have activities A/B with calories per food items and calories for different sports, so they can figure out how much they need to exercise to burn what they ate, etc... Alonso-Post. D.

Students enter their info and print the dietary recommendations and they compare them in class to others. http://www.mypyramid.gov/mypyramid/sp-index.aspx Alonso-Post. D. Re: menu/food.
