restaurant skit

Restaurant Skit DUE THURSDAY

Due 5/15

You and your group will perform a skit either in front of the class or recorded on a video. If you choose to record - make sure everything is ready to go on WEDNESDAY. No last minute submissions due to technical difficulties!!  Your project should include:


  • Key vocab from the chapter (food, table settings, useful expressions, restaurant terms)
  • Props (fake food, table settings, napkins, cups, apron, etc.)
  • Menu del dia from the country of your choice (a NICE hard copy to be submitted to Ms. Carr, but may also be used as a prop- so make it look like a menu)
  • At least ONE occurrence of ALL of these verbs in the script: gustar, querer, necesitar, preferir
  • Your part should be memorized. You can use the menu/waiter's notepad as an aid to remember your lines, but NO READING LINES FROM A PAPER. USE SOME ACTING SKILLS.
  • Something should go "wrong" in your skit - the wrong food, bad service, bad date, food allergies, high bill, wrong bill, forgot your money, etc. But then make sure it gets resolved somehow.
Here are some example videos  from youtube. None of these is exactly your assignment, none of them are perfect, but a good place to start for some creative ideas.
