Workshops: Summer Institute

 

Think of your teaching toolkit as a crockpot simmering with food for thought on how we produce, consume and make decisions about our ‘daily bread.’ The TPS Summer Institute 2012 focuses on our changing – and unchanging  – relationship with food through primary sources. Explore advertising and its influence on what we consume, with a focus on developing media literacy and habits of healthy eating. Consider food production systems, the changing role of agriculture, and the meaning of food in our culture. Experience historic recipes and sample lesson plans to bring a culinary perspective to history, geography, literacy, and a taste of math and science.
