This week's theme is culinary arts! Outside the classroom, my students (75% of whom are sitting in the same chair in the photo above) have been learning to chop vegetables and make banana cupcakes. Their creations have been served for dinner in the dining hall! When not eating on campus, they've been eating at classic American diners, Japanese restaurants, and Faneuil Hall. Inside the classroom, they've been reading and writing restaurant reviews, learning to discuss topics such as atmosphere, service, and decor. They've also been writing persuasive essays on topics such as junk food and anorexia, honing their ability to provide reasons and supportive details for a thesis. They tested their reading skills on a New York Times restaurant review and demonstrated impressive reading comprehension. Check out their blogs for mouth-watering descriptions of their favorite foods, as well as their reviews of the New Hampton cafeteria!
