Task : Students are to create a dialog between a local client of a neighborhood grocery store and an employee or owner of the grocery store. They are to talk about typical personal and family matters as well as achieve the daily shopping needs for themselves and their families. They will use pesos as their currency and all metric measurements for the items they will be buying.

You will create the dialog in the following sections:

• Character Backgrounds

  You will not actually use this development per se but your character's "deep story" will help you know how to act within the dialog and about what topics you might speak.

• Small Talk

  Possible small talk topics include:

  • family
  • activities
  • trips
  • weather
  • health
  • sports teams (America, Chivas, Pumas, etc.)
