Las Tapas & Commands

This was a project I got from my cooperating teacher who always had so many great ideas. With some tweaking, I was able to use this with my level 3 students for our unit on food and commands. It was such a fun way to include presentational speaking, culture and eating food! This project had them practicing informal commands but you could easily adapt this to use formal commands.
Students chose a traditional Spanish tapa to make for the class and signed up for a day to present (we did a few each day (50 minute period) and then I did a mini lesson after presentations finished). They brought the food on their day and laid it out on a table like a mini tapas bar so that after presentations students could get a sample.

Videos
Each day at the beginning of class while the presenting students got ready I would show a short video. Here are some I showed. I did show one of these the day I introduced the project to give the students a picture of various tapas.

Examples

The students had to show proof of them making the tapa. For the PowerPoints, students included at least one image with their faces and the food in the presentation. Those who did a presentation using Snapguide, were to show me a picture off their phone as to not post a picture online.  For these PowerPoint Examples I have removed any pictures with student faces so just imagine they included this. :)
