Topic: Descriptive Writing and Newsletter Making | Collaborators: Language Arts and Computer Subjects
Teachers: Ms. Kristine Roxas and Mr. Suplido
Students were asked to customize their very own restaurants and plan the restaurant menus. Then, they employed the usage of colorful adjectives and descriptive words on sample menus before revising their own menus with attention to descriptive phrasing. Students created fully detailed menus in newsletter format that included foods for all meals as well as details about the restaurant itself, such as history of the restaurant or background on the foods. Selected projects were asked to present their menus in the class.
