Coloring pencils are recommended for the physical maps. Students have the choice of creating a Powerpoint, video, or taking a picture of a poster board for their final project. Each week, students will be given a recipe from each region - making the recipe is optional and not required. At the beginning of each week, I will release the specific recipe, as well as an specific allergen warning. As for a general heads up for common allergens: Week 2: South West - Cowboy Caviar Possible ingredients that contain common allergens are: corn, avocado, lime, chili pepper, corn/flour/gluten (tortilla chips) Week 3: West - Fish Taco Possible ingredients that contain common allergens are: halibut, flour/gluten (tortilla), corn (tortilla), dairy/lactose, avocado, chili pepper Week 4: Midwest - Chili and Cinnamon Roll Possible ingredients that contain common allergens are: flour/gluten, dairy/lactose (butter and milk), sugar, cinnamon, eggs. We will be focusing on baking our own cinnamon rolls and the recipe will call for each student to utilize their own favorite chili (whether it's canned, store bought, or a family recipe). Week 5: South East - Fried Chicken Possible ingredients that contain common allergens are: flour/gluten, bread crumbs/gluten, corn, dairy/lactose (butter and milk), eggs Week 6: North East - Boston Cream Pie Possible ingredients that contain common allergens are: flour/gluten, dairy/lactose (butter and milk), sugar, eggs, chocolate Again, students do not have to create the recipes - they are an optional extra bonus. Families are also welcome to use their own recipes to adhere to their personal dietary needs and restrictions.
In addition to the Outschool classroom, this class uses:
We will be utilizing the following 3rd party platforms: Google Earth, Google Forms, Kahoot!, Canva Presentations and Youtube. You do not need an account for any of these platforms. We will only be using Canva to view the presentations I created - you don't need to login or create anything.
Students will be able to print off regional maps each week to fill in. Students can also use Google Earth on their own to explore each region. Recipes will be my own from experience. We will be utilizing official state government sponsored websites for important facts and stories of the states. We will also be using the National Parks official website to learn about some fun and interesting National Parks I’m each region of the United States. YouTube videos will be from educational channels such as Studies Weekly, National Geographic Kid, Smithsonian, and DN Anthems, just tonnage a few.
