Activity Overview
The ability to purchase food and eat in a restaurant is an essential skill for interacting in a foreign country. Beginner students of French will need to know the important phrases for ordering food politely and paying for it appropriately. In this activity, students will create a storyboard that practices dialogue various dining scenarios. The storyboards should include a character who orders food in a restaurant, interacts with a server politely, and asks the final price before leaving.
