They have discontinued home ec and placed our home ec/cooking teacher in a class
called reference and research. She came to me yesterday with a plan to bring her
6th graders in to do research after I give them a couple of research lessons. She
is quite excited with her choice of topics: the history of different kinds of
foods, for example the history of pizza. I was hoping that some of you could give
me some suggestions for extending it to include higher order thinking skills. I
don't know if they could get into why those particular foods originated where they
are, perhaps because of the crops, the climate, ....... This just does not seem
like a topic to stimulate their brains.
Thank you for any suggestions.
