PROGETTO - brutta copia: Blog di Moda, il 21 dicembre

Sophia Loren

Un Blog di Moda - ROUGH DRAFT

The first draft of our next project "Blog di Moda," will be due on Wednesday, December 21.

Your final project will consist of a picture/pictures/drawings of people. You will describe the pictures with at least 15 sentences in Italian (total). So if you have three pictures, you can write five sentences per picture. Be sure that these pictures can fit on a piece of computer paper (this is the size that I want your final project to be).  

On Wednesday, 12/21, I will collect the 15 sentence rough draft ONLY (with no pictures). Be sure that you know which pictures you will be describing. Do not talk about Britney Spears in her famous jean-outfit with Justin Timberlake, and then hand in a final copy of Lady Gaga in her meat-dress with text describing Britney Spears. Do not hand in a nice final draft for your rough draft as I am going to write all over it!

Just a friendly reminder - do not use Google Translate! The online dictionary wordreference.com is very helpful. If there are any verb tenses in your writing that we have NOT learned (we only know two verb tenses ...the passato prossimo and the present), then you will receive a 0.

If you do not hand in a rough draft, you will get a 0 and I will not correct your draft late. So....be sure to hand it in on time :D

Ciao!

The Slow Food Movement, which originated in Italy in 1986, has spread across the world. "Slow food" is food that uses real, healthy ingredients. It is basically the exact opposite of "fast food."
Italians take their food seriously and are known for emphasizing the importance of food quality.

The following two gelaterie use the best local ingredients to make their gelati.

AMORINO - Get a gelato here and receive three extra points towards a test. If you get a cone, which will have your gelato presented in the design of a fiore (flower), you will get five points extra credit total.

Amorino Locations

Closest location to LaGuardia:
Amorino, 414 Amsterdam Avenue, 10024, New York (between 79th & 80th Streets)

The flower cone at Amorino

If you live in Brooklyn, you also have the option to go to L'Albero dei Gelati.
Address: 341 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, NY 11215 (Park Slope)
Past flavors have included pesto, lettuce, and olive oil...but they have "regular flavors" (like my favorite....cioccolato...too!)

Please send a picture of yourself eating your delicious gelato to my email, alaricchia@schools.nyc.gov OR print out a receipt and hand it in to me with your name on it.

This is due by Tuesday, January 3, 2017 (the day that we return from December break). You may hand in your extra credit before this date!

Some people have asked if I get money for every person that gets gelato....no, I don't! I just want you to have fun and enjoy some of the best gelato that we have in NYC.

Enjoy!
