The Process:

1. Visit the links in each category and find the one you want to focus on. Pick a theme for your restaurants with your group. 

Think like a French person and pick a theme that will make them burst with national pride. 

Create a name for your restaurants based on your theme. 

For example, if you chose sports as your theme, you might name your restaurant after a famous race, or team. 

Your showcases might include a "Tour de France" (famous bike race) winner's picture and his bio. Your artifact could be the bike he rode in the race . 

Your themes might include:

 

	Artists		Royalty and historical figures
	Innovations		Paris and her Monuments
	Castles		Inventors or scientists
	The Alps and other natural wonders		Sports
	Musicians		The French Revolution

2 Design four showcases to help your clients visualize what the huge glass cases decorating the restaurant will contain. 

Choose famous places, things, or people that represent your theme. 

Work cooperatively according to your roles. 

Begin by individually researching the theme your group has chosen using the resources provided for you. 

Choose two topics you think would make good showcases and  fill out the research form found by clicking the link at the top of the resource page.

Once you have entered the information, save the form in your folder and print it.  

Defend your choices to the group using your research and listen to your teammates' presentations. Debate and reach agreement on a choice of four showcases. 

Create a compelling description or biography of your topic.  

Include complex ideas by using connectors. 

Make sure to include required showcase content.

Use at least two adjectives in every sentence. Use at least 5 verbs with at least  one double verb. 

Create a PowerPoint with a picture, an artifact, and a description for each of the items you picked.

The description should include the research from your research form and the answers to the  questions found on the following forms:

Defense of candidate ~ for a person

Defense of choice ~ for a place or thing

3. You will design your menu and add it to your PowerPoint.

Your menu will include 4-6 choices for each of the following categories: 
Hors d'oeuvres, Drinks, Entrees, Desserts.

Each item on the menu will have a name ( an Alps themed restaurant might have a dessert called Mont Blanc which might be a mountain of chocolate mousse topped with a white chocolate sauce).

Each item will include a description including adjectives and list of ingredients to make each dish irresistible.

Each item will be priced in dollars and Euros. Make sure your prices are in line with French restaurant prices.

You may consider including pictures of some of your dishes. You could make it at home and take a picture or scan one in from a cookbook or find one on the Internet.

Remember your PowerPoint needs to have visual impact and sell your restaurant. Include a picture of the interior of your restaurant. Make sure your choice of font is legible yet appealing.

Include background music that enhances your presentation and add your voices reading the menu.
