Menus and the Cocina Criolla

In Señora Lemaitre's 1-2 classes, students are just finishing up with Unit 3, Lesson 1 where they were introduced to Puerto Rico and la cocina criolla (Puerto Rican traditional cuisine). Students created their own restaurants and menus, then created a skit where customers and servers interact in Spanish, ordering food, paying for the meals and practicing proper greetings and leave-takings. It's great fun to watch. Here is a sample of one of the menus created by Shea Forrey and Madison Furcolo.
