elicit from the students what sort of things you would find on a take away menu (name of product, short description, pictures, prices, specials) write these up on the board for next task. present any blocking vocabulary, such as a 'base' being the bread part of the pizza, vegetarian - does not eat meat, hot - spicy food. elicit answers
split the class into groups, tell them they are going to have a race on which group can answer the questions the fastest. Ask them to find the information written on the board from the previous task and give them the list questions, then give them the authentic material. after the first group has finished get class feedback on the questions
to provide the students with questions which require more detail from the authentic material which they answer individually, then to check their answers in pair and finally to share with the class in feedback
