Setup Each school is different, you may want to hold this event in the cafeteria if possible. 1. Assign a table to each student. 2. The student will decorate the table according to their country. 3. The student will display their presentation board, recipe, flag and any other work they wish to display for that day. |
Students 1. Prior to the event make sure that all students have brought to school what they are going to use to decorate the tables. (You can create decorations in class or talk to the art teacher to work with your class.) 2. On the day of the event, have the students work on gathering all the items they want to display. 2. Whether day or night, take the students to set up the tables when the area being used is available for setup.

Recipes 1. Each student will bring a dish of the recipe they choose during the unit. They may bring other typical food of their country. 2. Suggest to students that they may want to prepare the dish the day before the event, but keep refrigerated so it doesn't spoil. |
