Class began with reviewing the Mark Bittman breakfast recipe:

Then Mr. Zartler demonstrated how to make the dish. He demonstrated slicing scallions (including removing the roots and basal plate of the bulb), and the tough upper part of the greens.
After eating some Wheat Berries and Scallions (with Sesame Oil and Soy Sauce) the class wrote about the dish. Students were asked to come up with a metaphor for the dish.
New vocabulary words were added (3rd period will get these words on Tuesday).
Cereal
1: A breakfast food based on processed grains (cereal) usually sweetened and very popular in the United States.
2: Grain; the seeds of a variety of monocots.
Monocot: grass and grass like plants; seedlings have only one leaf
Dicot: a large group of flowering plants including (among many others: apples, cabbages, and Douglas Fir); seedlings have two leaves.
Savory: as opposed to sweet a pleasant taste; used most often in reference to meat, spices, etc. See also umami.
Groups had a brief amount of time to prepare for tomorrows presentations on corn.
Students were reminded to have their independent reading books by Tuesday.
