Original Grant Overview
Goal
To continue to promote a culture of reading and the art of storytelling by engaging students in a book study that features food as a theme and how it’s interwoven in our society; and by further encouraging them to reflect and express their thoughts on this topic in a safe and creative way.
What will be done with my students
Mrs. O'Brien, media programming (Observance of Literacy Week/Read Across America/Valentine's Day) will work collaboratively with Ms. Williams (Culinary) in a project-based learning experience that will expose participating students to short stories that feature food, cultures, life, love, and living. The featured book for this project is Hungry Hearts: 13 Tales of Food & Love by Anna-Marie McLemore, Jay Coles, Rebecca Roanhorse, et al. (2020) (Note: Multiple reviews, Grades 8-11).
In this book food is described as an essential thing; a pathway to love; a test of loyalty; magic and even vengeance. It features food from cafes, bakeries, restaurants, and places that connect, intersect, and shape the characters in their shared community through authentic voices. Featured recipes with ingredients that include social emotional learning; recipes that derive from history and reflection; peace meals and infused gatherings.
In this collaborative project the culminating activity will be a reflection captured in a 12x12 frame featuring a selected recipe for a food(s) that the student(s) chooses to tell a story about.
