Just Sandwiches
(Thanks to
Sheryl Weinberg, Southeast Island School District Ketchikan, AK)
You may not have known it,
but your lifelong dream has been to own your own restaurant -- and it is about
to come true! Of course, you realize that
you are going to have to separate your eatery from the competition, so you have
decided that your special "hook" is that your place serves ONLY
SANDWICHES! It doesn't matter what the
course, appetizer or breakfast or the Dinner of the Day, it is a sandwich.
With that in mind, you and
three other restaurateurs must come up with your restaurant's THEME, MENU (with
recipes), and MARKETING. Once all your
materials are created, you will present your enterprise to the class, who will
evaluate your work and choose the most unusual sandwich from your menu. Finally, you and your team of chefs will
make and eat the most unique item on your menu for the class. Bon appetite!
If you choose to print this document, it is divided
into three separate pages: the assignment (1), the rubrics (2), and the journal
