Unit 2: Lesson Plan 1 Reading Menus
This lesson focuses on dishes and measure words. Students will familiarize themselves with common Chinese dishes and which measure words to collocate with the dishes. Collaborative learning is incorporated into this lesson plan. You can find the lesson plan, the Food and Measure Word handout as well as the adapted menu below. The vocabulary (mainly on the menu) covered in this lesson will be revisited throughout the course. Most of the dishes on the menu used for this lesson can be found in the Famous Food Handout (also mentioned in Lesson 2 Ordering Food for this unit). The Food and Measure Word handout uses both simplified and traditional characters. It is intended to give students a feel of the potential variety of the writing system among Mandarin-speaking regions.

Unit 2: Lesson Plan 2 Ordering Food
The lesson plan below gives a detailed description of how the second class period will go in Unit 2. In this lesson, we focus on learning how to order food, as well as what to order and when. Many Chinese customs on food are included in the video links provided both in the lesson plan and Materials Sectionbelow! We use a variety of videos to help students learn both inductively and deductively. The use of group work and collaboration, and well as whole class discussion and review further provides many opportunities for students to learn. Enjoy!

Below are links to the specific materials we used for both in-class applications and outside assignments! The first is our "Famous Foods Handout" which will act as a guide for students to many common Chinese dishes. The handout is meant to be used repeated throughout the course to help familiarize students with foods they will learn. For each dish included in the handout, a color picture is provided, along with the dish's name in Chinese, English and written in the phonetic, romanized PinYin!
