Welcome back and Happy Monday! today begins our Biomes study portion of this unit. Connecting the Columbian Exchange and the Biomes of the world, you will examine a favorite food. So, what is your favorite dish to eat -your go-to comfort food?
Objective
- Research and identify the nationality/region your favorite dish originate from.
- History Today
- Prompt: I'm Hungry
- What is your go-to favorite dish? that one comfort food dish you sometimes crave? Why?
- Intro Food Origins Activity -Google Classroom
- Use Google Slides (landscape 8.5 X 11 ) for this activity
- The activity will involve each student selecting a recipe that has at least 6 ingredients.
- The ideal recipe has each item as a stand-alone element of the recipe (meaning, limit items that are the product of several ingredients combined i.e. Mayonnaise).
- Select a recipe (make sure you obtain a picture of the dish you have selected
- List each item in the recipe
- Select an image of each item in the recipe with no background visible (cut out any background color or image)
- Identify the origin(s) location of each ingredient and color-in that country/region on a continent map using the website identified for this project. (crop the world map so it shows the continent)
- Write a brief history of the dish, was did this dish originated?
- Plan on putting a small text section where you explain “The History of the ….”
- Name the dish in large print on the project itself
- Close
- Prompt: Ah-ha (not the band)
- Were you surprised by the origins of any ingredients in your dish?
Homework
- Complete the research on your recipe. Come to class Wednesday with all of the ingredients' origins identified.
That's all for today folks! It is a lot going on but you will have this week to polish this project. Unfortunately, we cannot bring our favorite dishes in to share (although I wish we could because how yummy would that be!) Wednesday we will continue with Biomes and explore their definitions in more detail. See you then!
