This resource can be used as an anticipatory set to begin a unit on Navidad (Christmas). Ideally, students are familiar with the Spanish speaking countries and where they are located on the map.
Display the image as a warm up activity and have students respond in writing to the following questions:
1) Mira a los platos tipicos de cada pais, ¿Adonde quieres viajar?
2) ¿Qué quieres comer?
3) ¿Cuál país tiene un plato similar a los Estados Unidos?
4) ¿Cómo se llama uno de los platos tipicos de Mexico?
Then, students can pair up to review answers and practice their interpersonal speaking.
Share out as a whole group.
Then, to dive deeper into the image, students can choose a specific dish that they want to research further. Students will answer the following questions:
1) ¿De cuál país es este plato?
2) ¿Es un aperitivo, plato principal, o postre?
3) ¿Cuáles ingredientes hay en este plato?
4) ¿Tu familia come algo similar durante la Navidad?
5) ¿Quieres probar este plato?
6) Describe un plato tradicional que tu familia come en Navidad?
A follow up or culminating activity can be for students to make a dish from a particular country to share with the whole class at the end of the unit.
