Year 6,  let's begin:

1. Open your document and show me the recipe that you chose.  Remember to keep the web address;)
2.  Look at your recipe and the ingredients. Find as much information as you can about your recipe and the ingredients. For example if your recipe calls for mustard, research mustard.
3.  Select three interesting historical notes about your recipe or its individual ingredients.
4.  How the recipe is important to your family. (What traditions surround this recipe? Who in your family is famous for this recipe?)

Year 6, our unit question is:   How can I use Digital Design to show cultural diversity?   Today I would like you to  think about this question as you work. 

As we spoke about on Tuesday. We are doing this project to learn about others in the class and to teach others in the class about us.  We want everyone to know that people are more similar than different. We want to celebrate both what we have in common and the differences.  We want people to become more tolerant of others. We learn a lot about other cultures through food. 

The solution to our unit question (above) is that we will create a recipe flyer with one of our favourite recipes.  This recipe will be from our culture. For instance, Coline will use a French recipe, Sean will use a recipe from New Zealand.  If you are from 2 different cultures (for instance Yasmin), choose a recipe from either culture.

Use Calibri,  font size 11, black for the entire document

2.  Type your name at the top left margin.

5.  Hit the "enter" key
6.  Type: Introduction

8.  Type 4 sentences saying why we are doing this project. Use your own words. (Look at the unit question and (above) explain and justify what we are doing and why we are doing it).
9. Hit the "enter" key
10. Think of a recipe that you like.
