Condition of Use: Fair Use for Education Description:
This hotel menu from the Grand Heritage Hotel is a great authentic material for a food unit.
How you could use it:
- Focus on keywords and develop global reading skills by separating section headings from the foods under them; ask students to match them up. For a greater challenge, cut off the section headings entirely and ask students to give titles to each menu section by themselves.
- Develop closer reading skills by asking students to select the foods that they would and would not like to order from the menu and defend their choices by explaining the ingredients in each that they like and dislike.
- After reading, use it to make a restaurant role play feel more authentic; students playing “customers” can choose actual items off the menu and give their orders to students playing “waiters.”
Tips: This is a long menu, so pick and choose the pages that are most relevant to what you’re teaching—or differentiate by grouping students by skill level and providing them with different sections. Also, students may find the angular font tricky at first, so ease students into it by reading a few headings together as a class. >
