Description
Join us as we use a combination of lessons, images, videos, and cooking demonstrations to explore the world of language arts. Students will discover the exciting world of language arts through cooking, health, and nutrition. Topics such as critical thinking, problem-solving, and active listening will be covered as students learn how to identify and deal with barriers to effective communication. The program discusses attitudes and choices concerning food and evaluates how they affect students while helping to build a vocabulary that will allow students to clearly and intellectually discuss their likes and dislikes in the culinary world. Students will be able to recognize new different types of text/vocabulary in the kitchen, such as recipes, menus, cooking books, ingredient lists, etc. We’ll learn to identify the purpose and message conveyed with food in different kinds of media, such as book publications, movies, advertising, and more. We’ll also discuss grammar, abbreviations, irregular verbs, and compound words. Activities like crosswords and ciphers assist students in making sense of their world while developing the skills to evaluate the healthier choices in their personal lives. Students will get to take a recipe, so they put to work their new learned skills. These fun programs help students understand what it is like to work with food and connect the skills they learn in the classroom. Volunteer audience participants may work with ingredients, equipment, and perform cooking techniques demonstrated by the Chef.
