Visa din kunskap - bedömning

The project will be presented in class. Assessment according to the criteria in the grid below.

Examples:

E: People in the USA eat a lot of fastfood, like pizza, hamburgers and french fries just like we do in Sweden.

C: Fastfood is very popular in the USA and food like pizza, hamburgers and french fries is very common just like here in Sweden. Besides the portions in restaurants in the States are often very big with free refill for drinks. So, it’s not surprising that Americans become fat/obese. Most of our fastfood restaurants here in Sweden come from the USA and, unfortunately, our portions get bigger so in a couple of years we might become just as fat as Americans

A: Fastfood is very popular in the USA and food like pizza, hamburgers and french fries is very common just like here in Sweden. Besides the portions in restaurants in the States are often very big with free refill for drinks. Most of our fastfood restaurants here in Sweden come from the USA and, unfortunately, our portions get bigger here too.

Another typical American feature is the use of cars. Most big cities require your own car to get around and facilities are often adapted to cars, with drive-thrus. In combination with the food culture it’s not surprising that Americans become fat/obese. Even here we tend to adopt the American style, but hopefully we can see and learn to take better care of our health.
