Menu Survey!Gauge students’ familiarity with a simple, fun menu survey. Together, build a list of locations in which they might find food menus. 
These might include:
bistros bowling alleys catering trucks concession stands at city parks and picnic grounds drive-ins ferries and ships hospitals office buildings and towers pizzerias restaurants – chain or neighborhood schools shopping malls soda fountains in department and other stores specialty houses (one to six meal choices only) sports arenas, rinks, stadiums, and outdoor playing fields theaters trains. Ask students to bring in a copy of a favorite menu. If you want to work online, students will find menus there of local and regional favorites, as well as those from national restaurant chains. How is the menu arranged?
In a small group, compare your menu with others. How are they similar?
some form of organization grouping by food items list of food items prices on the right side. What non-food features can you find on a restaurant menu?
a cover design photos/illustrations history of restaurant/owner/chef menu focused on a special population/age group something to occupy children or adults. What special offer would you add to a menu that appeals to you? This could be a special pricing on a special day during a specific time or a combination offer. Name this new offer. What food items are included? Choose descriptive words and phrases that would tempt others to order it. What price would you set for your special?
