La comida

In this activity, students reflect on their diets and compare them to each other, evaluating how “typically American” their diets are, and eventually contrast them with diets seen among Spaniards. Students discuss reasons for choosing their diets and explain the healthfulness of different American and Spanish dishes.

Target task: Students make a proposal to an event planner who is organizing a dinner event for her Spanish clients by recommending three different Spanish dishes and explaining the choices.
