 * Unit 4 Food: La Comida**


 * La Comida Project: Assignment**

You will do conduct research about the food, culture, and cuisine of the country you and your partner have been assigned. I want you to find out about more than just a single dish in isolation, but an overview of the cuisine as a whole and the historical, geographical, and cultural factors that contribute to the cuisine of the region.

Here are some good questions to ask as you do your research:
 * What are the major components of my country's cuisine that show up in lots of dishes? (example: corn, pork, chili peppers, and tomatoes)
 * What dishes are used for celebrations and festivals?
 * What are the "staples" (found at almost every meal, like bread in the US) for your country's cuisine?
 * Was the cuisine of your country influenced by any other country's food?
 * How do you think the climate and geography of your country affects the cuisine?
 * How important is food generally to the people in your country and why?


 * Assignment:**


 * Find a dish that is IMPORTANT to your country's cuisine. You will know it is important if it is mentioned often, prepared for celebrations, or makes up a staple of the cuisine. Find a simple recipe for the dish. ** In Publisher create a document that includes the name of the dish in Spanish, 1-3 sentences about why the dish is important in English, and the list of ingredients in Spanish**. *****Also include a picture of your dish on the page with the recipe**.
