Monday, 29 October, 2012

Students shared their responses to the "Critical Questions to Answer Before Beginning" questions about their reading projects. The class then discussed concerns related to the projects.

Next the class read and discussed the childrens' book Everybody Cooks Rice by Norah Dooley. The following vocabulary terms were added:

"Beans & Rice" -- Beans and rice combinations are found in traditional cooking in cultures from around the world. Neither beans nor rice provide a complete protein on their own, but together they compliment each other and no meat is needed in a healthy diet.

"Legume" -- seeds know as beans and peas. These plants "fix" their own nitrogen, that is they are basically self fertilizing.

Class on Tuesday will include tasting. Students are encouraged to wash their hands immediately before coming to class.
