For this mini-project, youll research and present both a traditional francophone dish and a dish of your choice.To complete this activity, youll read or view a recipe and prepare a written or spoken presentation.
Step 1: Choose Two Dishes
First, choose a traditional recipe from France or any other francophone country. To inspire you, check outthe videos from Module 6.3.Each video is 1 to 3 minutes and in French, but should be pretty easy to follow with on-screen text, ingredients in the video description, and plenty of visuals. For additional videos, you can check outMarmiton, or for written recipes,Cuisine-France. Once youve chosen your dish, complete the correspondingcomprehension check (Video RecipeorWritten Recipe).
Second, select a dish of your choice. It can be another francophone dish, one from your culture, or simply your favorite dish.
Step 2: Prepare a Presentation
Once youve chosen your two dishes, decide how youd like to present them. You may:
Create an Oral Presentation
Record a video with your phone or webcam.Be sure to show the food (either as pictures or actual food) as you describe it! [See Guide]
Create anAdobe Spark videousing photos and audio recordings.
Create a PowerPoint presentation using photos and audio recordings. [See Guide]
OR
Create a Written Presentation
Type your scriptin Microsoft Word andadd pictures to your document.
Create a web presentation withAdobe SparkorPreziusing your text and photos. [SeeAdobe Spark video tutorial (6:06)orPrezi video tutorial (5:32)]
Create a PowerPoint presentation using your text and photos.
No matter your choice, remember that this is a presentation, not a recitation or an essay, andmust include visuals. Describe your two dishesin simple, FRE1121-appropriate language. When deciding what to say, focus on the topics that weve seen so far in Module 6, as well as drawing fromprior content from FRE1120. Think about the following questions:
Quel plat choisissez-vous?
Pourquoi aimez-vous ce plat?
Quels sont les ingrdients?
Cest facile ou difficile prparer?
Comment est le plat? Sucr? Sal? Nutritif? Etc.
Quand mangez-vous ce plat?
You do not have to address all of these questions, but they may help to remind you of all the things youve learned how to talk about in a very simple and straightforward manner. Your overall presentation should beat least 12 sentences long.
