[Teacher Page] The Process
Title 1. You will be divided up into 5 groups of 4 students. These groups
will be chosen at random. (Sorry. I know you wanted to pick your
Introduction own groups)
Task 2. Once you meet with your group, you will need to decide on the
type of restaurant you would like to create. Is it an Italian place
Process
with great pasta, or is it a burger joint with delicious burgers and
Evaluation fries.
Conclusion 3. Your group will need to create a catchy name for your restaurant
that will make people want to eat there. Make sure the name of
your restaurant is school appropriate.
4. Once your group has decided, you need to let me know the name
of your restaurant, and I will let you know which day you will be
presenting.
5. Now, its time for you to get creative with your 3 meals your
restaurant will serve. You need to remember that you have to
bring in one of the meals for the class to sample, so make sure
your meals are fairly simple. Also, some students might have
allergies to things such as nuts, and dairy so if you have any
concerns, make sure you ask me before making it a definite meal
on you menu

5. The Process
6. Now, its time for you to create your menu. You will be using Microsoft Word to be
creating it. You menu will be a total of 2 pages. The first page will be just the cover
page. You will put the name of your restaurant, the owners names(your names) and
the hours of operation. The second page will consist of the 3 meals your group has
decided on. You want to make your menu looks appealing so you might want to take
a few minutes to look at other menus online. You can add pictures of foods to your
menu, but remember the lesson we had on citing your sources and copyright laws. If
you use a picture, you need to give me a separate sheet with the correct citation for
the picture.
7. Once your menu is complete, you need to turn it into me so I can print off enough copies
for the entire class. I will return your menus to you once I have them printed off.
8. You will need to let me know which meal your group has decided on serving your
classmates so I can approve it. I need to make sure that your sample will not contain
foods that people are allergic to. If I approve your food, then you do not need to do
anything until it is your time to present.
