A la carte!

Since a number of people still have not written their essays we will do the essay assessment on Thursday. Today we will concentrate on A la Carte.

This story is extremely topical at the momemt. The idea of a person making a career as a chef was pretty unknown when Archer wrote this story but nowadays with all the tv series about becoming a chef (like Sveriges Mästerkock) this is very up-to-date.

We will start off by listening to the end of the story. Here is the file.

Then we will use a lot of the time to do some discussions. The first document is about career choice and gender. Why is it that women do most of the cooking in the home but as soon as someone can earn a living at it then it's only men!

Here is the document. 


To continue I want you to discuss the story more specifically. Discuss the first section with a neighbour and write and mail me your answers. We will take the comments section in class.. The write about the final question.
Is there a twist AT ALL in this tale? If so what is it?
I will be interested to see your opinions.
Here is the worksheet

Finally we have the vocabulary section. The topic in this story is obvious! There are very many CULINARY words (to do with cooking). Here is the file. Complete the words.
Good luck!!!
