Painting the Town Red Redux

We turned up some interesting phrases during yesterday's activity, wherein we created phrases and phrase origins for our imaginary countries. Some of my favorites include: Adrianna's slug hair phrase and the interesting historical origins of Adora's phrase one hobbling crook is better than ninety-two strong monks.
I thought Adrianna's idea of posting a Czech menu as part of her 'Becoming an Expert' project was pretty cool, so I assigned this homework topic: create a menu for a restaurant in your imaginary country. As preliminary research, students will study the evolution of cuisine in real countries around the world. I'm looking forward to inspecting the results.
