12th Grade Cooking Bulletin Board Ideas

This French reading comprehension and activity unit is a great addition to whatever your current curriculum has for food in France. It doesn't focus on the usual things that kids already know about (sandwiches, hamburgers, pizza & fries) but instead has some good additional material.

It includes:

• 2 reading articles, 1 page each, in both French AND English:
• one article on fast food in France (fast food, street food, take-out)
• one article on haute cuisine
• 1 infographic about dining in France - the order of courses and some rules about manners while eating.

Activities:

• 1 internet activity with links for students to research French fast food
• 1 internet activity with links for students to research fancier food
• a reading activity on how to read French menus
• an activity with rubric for students to make their own menus

Posters:

a complete set of printable 8X10 posters that you could print on a printer or have printed on nice photographic paper - 14 different posters featuring French items such as ratatouille, mousse au chocolat, croissants - but also some newcomers that you will find EVERYWHERE in France - kebab and couscous.

Resources:
