25 points

Our school is developing a community guide for Spanish speaking
residents. Our class is in charge of writing about restaurants. You
will write a review of your favorite restaurant.

1. Prewrite. (Begin in class on 10/11/11) Think about the
restaurant that you like best or a restaurant that you would like to
see in our community. Detail the good things about the restaurant,
but also include details about the menu, the cost of the items on
the menu, whether the menu is "basic" or "varied", ambience,
service, etc. Write words and expressions associated with each of
the following categories as they relate to the restaurant you are
reviewing:

a) Descripción general
b) Platos principales
c) Otras comidas y bebidas
d) Postres
e) Servicio

2. Draft (5 pts. – 1pt per category). (Due no later than
10/18/11) Write your review of the restaurant using the
information that you provided above. Try to include information
that might persuade others to try the restaurant. Post your draft to
your School Loop group.

3. Peer edit (5 pts.). (Due no later the 10/21/11) Read the drafts
posted by your other group members. Make at least two comments
and suggestions that are constructive and specific. For example:
“Check spelling on the words pollo and camarero ,” “I don’t see
postre mentioned in your review,” and/or “This looks accurate.
Wonder if you could write more about the quality of service.”

4. Final draft (15 pts. – 5pts per category). (Due no later than
10/28/11) Keeping your group’s comments in mind, write a final
draft of your review. Design the layout and include visuals to make
it interesting. Drop off the review in the school loop drop box.
