Recipes: Teacher's Overview

You Are What You Eat

Family Recipes

Overview
A student's family is a wonderful and authentic place to draw from and create authentic interesting experiences for students. Sharing delicious family recipes is a wonderful way to express students' culture and individuality. As students research ingredients, nutritional value, and food costs they will learn that some recipes can be viewed as a reflection of a student's background. This can be a wonderful opportunity to explore the history behind such recipes. Students not only learn from each other, but they also get a chance to explore the issue of diversity in class.

With this unit, the class will create a recipe book containing students' family recipes while experiencing the elements of an interdisciplinary, collaborative, technology assisted learning environment.
