Una scenetta - Al Ristorante

Skit

Al Ristorante – You are at a restaurant with a friend and you are looking through the menu. A waiter approaches and asks you what you would like to eat this evening. Create a conversation between two customers and the waiter.

Some helpful words are:

Benvenuto/i/a/e – Welcome.

Il cliente – customer

Il cameriere – waiter (m.)

La cameriera – waiter (f.)

Desiderare – to desire, to want

Vorrei – I would like…

Grazie – thank you

Prego - you’re welcome

Raccomandare - to recommend

Write a 30 sentence (total) skit in a group of three. Lines should be distributed evenly. If you are in a group of four, you must have 40 lines.

- The following phrases do not count as a “line” or a “sentence.” – Ciao, anch’io, arrivederci, grazie, prego, etc.

- A line or a sentence must have a conjugated verb.

- Every person in each group should be writing the skit. One person should not be doing all the work.

- Groups will begin their presentations tomorrow. All groups will be given 20 minutes in class tomorrow to continue to work on skits before presentations. Lines do not have to be memorized, but you should be creative and comfortable with your lines.

- One final draft should be handed in before you present so that I may follow along. If you have three people in you group, you should have four copies of your skit (one for me).

-Please make your skit creative and fun.

-Remember – if you use Google translate or “receive help” from anybody but your group or a dictionary, you will receive a 0. It is very easy for me to determine if the work you present is not your own as we are limited in what we have learned thus far and only know how to conjugate certain verbs.

-This will be worth a quiz grade.
