You are going to pretend that you are a world-famous chef. You are
planning a dinner party tonight with your parents, your favorite
singer, the President, and your best friend. Think about what your main
dish would be. It could be your favorite food or one that you have
always wanted to try. You can look at some of the websites above to
help you decide.
Next, you will draw a picture of the main dish that you plan on making. Think about what kind of ingredients would be needed to make your food. Then with help from a teacher, you will write a shopping list with three ingredients that are needed next to your picture. Make sure to draw a good picture because some of them will be posted online! Use the Betty Crocker website from up above to help you make your decision about your main dish. |
