A Webquest


Eating In The U.S.A.
                                                   
 INTRODUCTION

Eating in the U.S.A. may be a different experience. Join this new adventure where you will learn the American eating habits. Which one would you prefer?






Depending on the city you visit, food can be an original and sometimes an unusual sensation. A mixture of flavors, odors and ingredients together with customs and traditions, recipes passed from generation to generation can became an excellent dish…sit comfortably and enjoy the next plates taken from several parts of the country.




THE TASK

Building up a poster with the typical food consumed by American people, classify them into healthy and junk food.



THE PROCESS


a)   First, separate in groups of three/four students.
b)  Each group will have a name (for that you should think of typical American food and choose one for yours)
c)   Remember to use the web resources to collect data about eating habits in the U.S.A. and its influence in their health.
d)  Let’s share information with your classmates.
e)   You’ll have to make a document where you write information about the food you investigate, its ingredients and other facts concerning this topic. Finally, use pictures to illustrate the description you develop.
f)   It should be written on an A4 paper, with a length of no more than one page.

Creating Awareness

Didk you know?

Be careful with the Sun rays! 
                 If you want to know whether the the sun rays are causing damage to your skin, pay attention to your own shadow...stand up and look at the size of the shadow you make, if it is small, the sun is dangerous at that time, and if your shadow is large, so it will be nice to take a sunbath!!!
                                                             Try That!!!
