Description

Food is a fantastic vehicle to provide an exciting learning adventure that will captivate students. Students expand their discovery of the world through cooking. This workshop will show them the practical application of reading and language arts into their daily lives. Discussions, worksheets and activities that use language arts will allow students to make sense of their world while developing life-skills to make healthier choices for their success. Students will be given age appropriate tasks and challenges, learn about what other countries eat, as well as discover how to apply language arts to build their interest in reading, writing and expressions.

Students Will

  • give verbal instructions to a buddy in order to make a simple dish
  • see and handle some of the tools of the trade
  • learn what recipes and menus are (along with other forms of culinary literature)
  • learn about kitchen safety, etiquette, following instructions, teamwork, trust and respect
  • gain a real world understanding of cooking as it connects to Language Arts
  • Literacy Connection: The Art of Simple Food: Notes, Lessons, and Recipes from a Delicious Revolution, Alice Waters, ISBN 0307336794
