Objective

  • To introduce students to the cuisine of the Spanish-speaking world
  • To familiarize students with the metric system

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.
  • When dealing with food vocabulary, students are likely to find terms that they are not familiar with. Tell them that the names of certain foods, especially fruits and vegetables, vary greatly from country to country. For example, an avocado is un aguacate in Mexico but una palta in Chile. The word for hot pepper is el chile in Mexico and el ají in many South American countries.
  • Once the students have selected their recipes, have them print them out. They can use the printed recipes to prepare an oral step-by-step presentation to the class on how to make the dishes they have chosen.
  • Encourage students to use their dictionaries to look up unfamiliar words.


Expansion

  • Have students prepare a three-course meal using the recipes they downloaded from the Internet. Divide the class into three groups and assign a course to each group. Have students pool their recipes and choose the best one for their course. Ask each group to translate the instructions for its recipe, prepare the dish at home, and bring it in to share with the class or with other Spanish classes.
  • If there is a Spanish market in your community, organize a field trip with your class to shop for the ingredients for the recipes.
