Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

Help my students revolutionize their relationship with food! I teach Spanish 1 at a small, very diverse charter high school with a commitment to sending all students to college, AND making sure they can succeed once they get there. Along the way, I am dedicated to making language learning a fun and effective way for all students to broaden their connections to the world around them.

I am passionate about food. I believe my students are too, but most have not had the opportunity or level of awareness to be able to explore that passion. During the "Revolutionary Cooking Show" project, students will explore food in Spanish, from ingredients and recipes to where foods come from and how they are connected to culture. And best of all, they will get to sample various foods as we explore what's available locally during our project, all the while communicating about the multisensory experience en español.

As part of the "Revolutionary Cooking Show" project, students will need a variety of models of authentic recipes in Spanish. This variety of real, visually engaging cookbooks will help them hold themselves to high expectations based on real-life examples. Plus, they can evaluate, adapt, and even sample the recipes.

You will make it possible for my students to work together in partners (without any xeroxing) to explore a variety of dishes and recipe formats in authentic cookbooks. Your help will invite them to become deeply engaged in the sensory, cultural, economic, and even political aspects of food. ¡Gracias!
