COMIDA - FOOD
 
This website is intended to keep you up to date on assignments, provide links for extra practice, and give you a highlight of each week's lesson. I encourage you to continually check the website for activities and additional help.
 
This week's lesson focuses on food and Mexican cuisine. We will be exploring this concept by creating our own Mexican restaurant menus. After we discuss typical Mexican dishes we will watch a brief video on more authentic Mexican food. Let me tell you- there is much more to Mexican food than Taco Bell! Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday we will be in the computer lab creating our own unique menus that we will share with the class on Friday. By the end of this lesson you will have learned 25 new food vocabulary words in Spanish!
