Appetizing Adjectives Activity

Students will redesign a restaurant menu using adjectives to make the foods more appetizing.

1. What is a noun?
2. What are adjectives?
3. Brainstorm: Come up with adjectives that describe food items: heavenly, delightful, juicy, etc.
4. Let the students sort through the Menus. They will be creating their own restaurants and their own menus.

RUBRIC

The Menu must:
1. Have the name of the Restaurant
2. Restaurant Picture or Logo on the front of the Menu
3. Contact Information of the Restaurant: Example: Days Open, Hours Open, Telephone Number, etc

You must pick at least 8-10 foods to put on your menu! Remember: You cannot just say cheeseburger; you have to use at least one adjective to name the cheeseburger. You then need to use lots of descriptive words that briefly describe what the dish is.

Example:

Big Bubba's Junkyard Burger
This burger is only for the Big Boys. It has 3 beef patties, 2 American cheese Slices, Lettuce, Pickle, Tomato, and Mayo. Try it with French Fries and Baked Beans. It's great!

You can use foods that are: appetizers, breakfast foods, lunch foods, kid's foods, dinner foods, finger foods, beverages (NO ALCOHOL), desert foods, etc., I DO NOT CARE--Just Make MY MOUTH WATER! You can also cut out pictures of foods from the magazines to glue onto your menu.

REMEMBER! BE CREATIVE AND HAVE FUN!
