Project A: Your own restaurant
Your own restaurant
Work with two or three classmates.
Is it easy to eat out in your town or city? Do you miss a certain kind of restaurant? This is your chance to create your own restaurant!
- Think of a concept for your restaurant (for example fast food, healthy food, sandwiches, food from a specific culture, vegetarian or vegan food).
- Think of a good location in your town or city for opening your restaurant. Make sure you know why this is the perfect location for you.
- Design your restaurant’s menu. Divide your dishes up into at least four logical categories. Each category should have at least three options.
- Add the most important ingredients and provide information about allergens.
Present your new restaurant to the rest of your class.
Project B: Research a diet
Research a diet
You can do this individually or you can work with a classmate.
The school paper is doing a special issue about healthy living. You have been asked to do some research into a popular diet and to write an article about its pros and cons.
|
Reliable and neutral sources
When looking for sources, always be critical: is the source neutral and reliable? For example, in looking for the pros and cons of a diet, keep in mind that sites that actually offer (recipes for) the diet are much more likely to be very positive about it.
That doesn’t mean you can’t use these sources – just be aware of their limitations and make sure to tell your reader about your reservations.
|
- Research a popular diet, for example: a ketogenic diet, a raw-food diet, a paleo diet, intermittent fasting. Find two sources that list pros and two sources that (also) list cons.
- Write your article.
- Describe the diet.
- List the pros.
- List the cons.
- Say something about the reliability of the sources you have used.
- Draw your conclusion: is following this diet a good idea?
- Pay special attention to the correct use of the simple present, the present continuous, past participlesand possessive pronouns.

- Your introduction should take 1-2 minutes.
- Make notes during the debate, about the number and the quality of the arguments, politeness and how well the teams react to each other’s arguments. You will need these to support your final decision on who the winner is.
