Last Year's Francophone Food Project

For our food project, each student will research a recipe from a French-speaking country. This can be the country you studied in the beginning of the year but does not have to be. The recipe may be in English. We will translate it into French in class.

Parts of project:
-Find recipe (due Tuesday, May 6th): use the recipe resources on the "Food Project" site linked on the right side of our blog.
-Translate recipe into French (in class)
-Prepare recipe and present dish with a short explanation in class (2-3 minutes) of its country of origin and any relevant food customs. (Thursday, May 8th)
-Enjoy foods from different French-speaking countries!

Specifics for the presentation will be presented in class next week. For now, find a recipe in your assigned food category and be sure to know its country of origin.
