    NEW ZEALAND UNDER ATTACK by Bugs!

     

    Imagine that you are an advisor to New Zealand Prime Minister Jacinda Ardern.  She calls you into her office and says that she recently was in her garden and found several different types of non-native bugs munching away at her vegetables.  She is worried about the threat posed to the country’s economy from the destruction of plants by foreign insects that have made New Zealand their home.  She wants you to write a report for her on how bad the situation is and what can be done about it.  Your report will contain the following:

     

    1.  A cover page should have your name, assessment name, class, teacher, date issued, and due date.  Also, include a catchy title that will get her attention and an image that relates to the topic.  The image can be drawn or cut and pasted.

    Food, Culture, and Diet –

    A Global Perspective

    Top 10 Best Country In The World For Food | Apna Shoq

    “Food for us comes from our relatives, whether they have wings or fins or roots.  That is how we consider food.  Food has a culture.  It has a history.  It has a story.  It has relationships.”  

                                                                                           – Winona Laduke

    Why study food and culture? 


    What can we learn about our culture and one another through the foods we eat? 

    Food cultures also represent the wisdom gained and shared through thousands of years of experimentation and observation. For example, the grains and beans found in many food traditions have been determined to provide the perfect combination of amino acids our bodies need. Although it may seem that kids today only eat pizza or hamburgers, your students are likely to represent a tremendous diversity of food traditions. Be sure to set the stage for an open and

    Food is much more than a tool for survival; it is also a source of pleasure, comfort, and security. And, while it nourishes our bodies, it can also nourish our families and our communities. Food is one of the most important and persistent aspects of tradition and culture. Throughout the world, food is used to celebrate holidays, rituals, and family gatherings. For special occasions—and even for daily meals—our culture often determines what, when, and how we eat. These traditions connect us to our history, our locale, and to one another accepting classroom environment so that students will feel comfortable talking about their family food traditions.
