Hello…from Israel. How is class and more importantly, do you miss me yet? The trip is going great and seeing a lot of amazing sites! We are traveling all over the country, which is only the size of New Jersey. Even though small, there is a lot to see. Not only is there a lot to see, there is a lot to eat. But I am running into a small problem that I need your help with.
The problem is that I seem to only have brought American money. In some places they do except this type of currency, but for the most part they only take the Israeli Shekel or if they take the dollar, they expect me to covert it to the shekel. The conversion rate is $1.00 = 3.96 Shekels.
Yesterday, we ate fish (pictured above) at the Sea of Galilee. The meal consisted of:
1.) One large fish (Tilapia, whole) 33.66 Shekels,
2.) Potato fries 13.86 Shekels,
3.) Coke 7.92 Shekels, and
4.) Dried dates (the fruit) 15.84 Shekels.
Sure, I can find out how many Shekels it costs but I have no Shekels. How do I know how to find my price in American currency? Convert the cost of each item to dollars and give the final price of the meal in dollars.
Activity:
Create a menu for an Israeli Restaurant with at least 15 items on the menu. Once you have done research on the food of Israel (remember this is for an Israeli restaurant, so the food most be Israeli), price each food item, in Shekels. This menu can either be made from construction paper or on the computer in publisher (publisher preferred). On a separate piece of paper, create four (4) meal choices for customers (example: my meal at the Sea of Galilee). Once meal choices are made, give a final price of the meal in Shekels and converted into dollars.
Signing off from Israel. Keep me posted on what’s happening in class. Miss you all.
