This worked well in my middle school exploratory and heritage language classes during a food unit. I had my 6th and 7th grade students use the English version and my heritage speakers use the Spanish version. I liked how this introduced students to a variety of foods and also reinforced the geographical piece of where different Spanish-speaking countries are located. I did modify the graphic organizer a bit before I gave it to students, adding in a spot for them to write a brief description/list of ingredients so they would remember what the food was later. I like these virtual field trips because they give me a minute to breathe and allow me to circulate the room and talk and connect with kids.

Loved this resource! I used the Spanish version with my level 1 students which was definitely challenging for them at times but I reminded them to look for the main idea of the foods they chose and to use wordreference.com when needed/consult a neighbor/ask me. They were very intrigued by the variety of selections on the map and that the activity was interactive. I like the digital/paper combination since many of my students forget to submit things digitally, I could see them writing on their paper and knew they were truly completing the work.
