Ideas to make it more challenging:
1. Have students research currency used in South America and use that for the prices (compare it to US currency).

3. Have students also list the health benefits of each appetizer, entree and dessert
Ideas to make it less challenging:
1. Have students just focus on one area, appetizer, entree or dessert.
2. Eliminate the currency portion.
