Activity 5: Group Video Assignment

Objective: 

In groups of 4, create a video that showcases the entire process of ordering at a restaurant from entering the restaurant to getting the bill. This task will help students practice their communication and teamwork skills in a real-world scenario.

Instructions:

1. Form groups:
   • Organize into groups of four. If you haven’t met with your peers, contact the instructor to help you find a group.

     • Customer(s)
     • Waiter/waitress
     • Manger (optional, for added scenarios)
   • Discuss and outline the script: Script should be based on what you learned on previous assessments:
     • Greeting when entering the restaurant 
     • Being seated and receiving menus 
     • Ordering food and drinks 
     • Interaction during the meal (e.g. checking in with the costumer, additional orders 
     • Asking for the bill and completing the payment process
   • Decide on a location to shoot the video (e.g. classroom, home, a real restaurant, a mock setup)

3. Create the video
   • Record your video using a smartphone, tablet, or camera
   • Ensure all group members participate and clearly showcase the process 
   • Aim for a video length of 5 minutes
     
4. Editing and final touches:
   • Edit the video for clarity and flow
   • Add subtitles if needed for better understanding 
   • Make sure the audio is clear and understandable
