Hey Group...I was just looking at our next assignment. We need to create an assignment for our students to learn about a different region; they need to be able to compare and contrast things. I was thinking that we could do a different region in the US or in a completely different country. I thought that it would be cool to have our students discuss food, obliviously, with another student. They could compare and contrast things that are grown around where they live, what they eat for breakfast, lunch, and dinner, etc... I thought that the students could exchange a special family recipe with their web-penpal. Our "students" could then put their family and their penpals family recipes into the classroom cookbook.
What are other ideas?
Love it! I think we should pick several countries (Russia, Japan, Italy, Mexico, and England maybe?) and discover most popular pizza toppings, breakfast foods, snacks, candies, and quick meals. We could incorporate that into math (graphs and charts), English (food journals or creative writing projects), and art (what do you think a pizza from Japan looks like?).
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's a great idea! I love the idea of "writing" to multiple countries about food; I just wasn't sure if we could do that. I say lets do it though!!! :)
