Three Groups: Chefs, Waiters/Waitresses, and Customers
Chefs deciding on a menu and specials
Waitress checking on specials with the chefs; Investigating why themenus are not complete because her customers were starting to complain!
Customers giving orders/complaints to a waitress (front) and describing food to a chef (back)I was so excited for this class. I set up candlelit tables, classical music, and a screen with a giant picture of the other half of the restaurant. A kitchen with pictures of food, blank menus, and pots and pans to aid in narrated pretend cooking. Tables covered with conversation cards, and "ship" and "sheep" sounding vocabulary words to review our pronunciation lesson and challenge customers to incorporate them into speech.
The only trouble was that several staff meetings were scheduled during class, so our 16-person class was down to 7 people. Talk about deflated balloon. The role-play went well enough, but it was lacking some of the energy that would have come from a larger class. Oh well.

And lastly, a self-evaluation...
