<p>Hi! I've attached a blog post that explains how I transformed a traditional lesson into an Inquiry Based lesson on the topic of Child Labour. What was remarkable for me was the level of engagement of my students when they are learning through inquiry.<a href="http://heidisiwak.blogspot.com/2011/01/simple-example-of-how-i-turned.html">http://heidisiwak.blogspot.com/2011/01/simple-example-of-how-i-turned.html</a></p>

Attached is the preliminary copy of this lesson. Rubrics are still a work in progress, as is a glogster that I am creating to give the project a web presence. I am also sending you a TPACK diagram that I used to help myself visualize the Technology+Pedagogy+Content equation in my planning. I will post updates as I add to my work.

<b>FOOD & CULTURE PROJECT</b><br />
This lesson plan was developed for 8th Grade Family and Consumer Science students enrolled in "Foods" class.<br />
It is based on the following: Enjoying a wide variety of foods is part of our culture in the United States. These foods are the contributions of many different cultures and represent a wealth of ethnic diversity.<br />
<br />
<b>ESSENTIAL UNDERSTANDING:</b><br />
Awareness of cultural and regional food habits is essential in a global society.<br />
<br />
<b>ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:</b><br />
• What cultural factors are influencing your family’s food culture? (Discuss this question with family members. Create a system for organizing your data and use it to list as many factors as possible.)<br />
• In what way does your family culture contribute to the ethnic diversity of foods in the United States? (Compare and contrast foods traditionally used by your family with those in the U.S.)<br />
• How can you determine what cultural factors are influencing your family’s food culture? (Identify a resource that can help you to judge which aspects of your family’s culture have an impact on the foods you eat.)<br />
<br />
<b>ESSENTIAL STRATEGIES:</b><br />
Demonstrate an understanding of the link between cultural heritage and your family’s food customs.<br />

<b><i>Smart Decisions</i></b><br />
<br />
Essential Question - Can a healthy meal be consumed at a fast food restaurant?<br />
<br />
After collecting the data for a menu of the selected meal at the Fast Food restaurant, the students will develop spreadsheets and graphs to tabulate the date and compare the meals. Pictorial representations through graphs of the meals will provide the students with easy ways to compare the data and make assessments about the nutritional value of the meals. The final project will include a wiki developed for the entire class where the students can present their results and make comparisons to other students meals. The wiki will have a page for each fast food restaurant so that the meals for that particular restaurant will be grouped together. Students will evaluate their meals and suggest ways in which the meal could have been changed to better follow a healthy lifestyle. As a final task, the students will collaborate and peer review their classmates meals and suggest ways in which to make the meals more healthy. All tasks will be evaluated using a rubric similar to one included in the resources.
