Objective
  • To familiarize students with Spanish restaurants and menu vocabulary


Notes

  • You may wish to brainstorm with students keywords in Spanish that will help direct them to Spanish-language Web sites to complete this WebQuest.

  • In Antes de navegar, you have to tell students what their food allowance is in euros for their night out in the Spanish city of their choice. Randomly assign each student one of the following amounts: 12 euros, 15 euros, 18 euros, 20 euros, 25 euros, 30 euros, or other amounts of your choosing.
  • Since students are on a budget, tell them to go directly to the menus for each restaurant to determine whether or not they can afford to eat there.
  • As you know, restaurant vocabulary is often very difficult. Encourage students to do their best to figure out the menu as they order dinner at the restaurant of their choice. In the Después de navegar activity, they are asked to look up any unknown words from the menu in the dictionary. They may be surprised by what they ordered!
  • Allow students to write down any features of the restaurant for Características del restaurante in the chart on their worksheet. They might want to describe the food specialties, ambience, location of the restaurant, number of rooms, etc.
  • Additional vocabulary useful for this activity:
