Class today was focused around the role of food and eating in story telling.
The class made lists of food, meals, and experiences eating that taught us lessons.
Students then choose either a real event from their list or created an imaginary event based on their experiences learning from food or eating and began writing a story with a focus on including characters and conflict. Students were encouraged to include dialogue (what was said) in their draft.
Next each class made a chart around how what food symbolizes and how or why it is symbolic.
Students had additional time to draft. This time they were asked to incorporate food or eating as a symbol into the story.
The class made lists of food, meals, and experiences eating that taught us lessons.
We defined "story" as:
character(s) + conflict = resolution
