4. Create a menu or a newspaper or billboard ad. • Menus can include the following: • categories like "Entremeses" (appetizers), "PlatosPrincipales" (main courses), "Postres" (desserts) and "Bebidas" (drinks) • prices in the currency of a Spanish-speaking country such as pesos, queztales, colones, bolívares or córdobas, according to student research. • Menus can provide the opportunity to look at comparative structures as well as feminine and masculine endings: "La langosta es cara. El pollo es másbarato." (The lobster is expensive. The chicken is cheaper/less expensive.) • Newspaper and billboard ads should include the name of the restaurant, a slogan, an illustration, and phone number. Use 985-555-1234.
