What you are going to do for the remainder of this lesson:

Look at the box that is numbered 34 in your book on p. 153. You are going to do the assignment that is described in this box.

Box 34

Read the text "Aussie Food" again. Three Aussie foods are discussed in this text. Find more information on these foods and make a poster about it. You can do this on your computer or on a piece of paper.

In addition to this, you will look up two abbreviated (afgekorte) Australian foods, like 'shrimp on the barbie'. Look up a picture and information for both foods and put this in your poster.

You have until the next lesson (Wednesday) to do this. Please send your work to me on Magister. If you made your poster on a piece of paper, take a picture of it and turn that in.

What you need to have in your poster: pictures of the 3 Aussie foods mentioned in the text, additional information on those foods and a picture and information on two abbreviated Aussie foods you looked up yourself.

Good luck to all of you!
