My Students

I teach 28 students in a multiple subject classroom; they are a microcosm of our world - bringing a richness of diversity of cultures, customs/traditions, foods, and language. Acceptance and celebration of our differences makes us a strong "classroom" community. My students currently learn daily on Zoom, join me in the afternoons for tutoring, & participate in online digital escape rooms twice a month on Friday nights.

Having learned about the Neolithic "agricultural" Revolution in SS-History, and Metabolism via Amplify Science - learning how our bodies metabolize nutrients - turning food into energy, students are primed for learning about the fast-food industry and advertising, and more importantly, the effect of fast food on our bodies.

My Project

Would you be surprised to learn that the fast food and drink industry is invading our schools? It's true. Many middle and high schools offer brand name fast food to students during lunch and snack times. While fast food is very tempting to eat, is it really good for you or for our kids? How are the flavors achieved? Using the highest-quality and healthiest ingredients possible? Not so. Based on Eric Schlosser's 2001 best-seller, "Fast Food Nation," Schlosser and Charles Wilson's "Chew on This" informs kids just what is in fast food, where it comes from, how it is made, and what it does to your body and how it contributes to obesity.

With their book, "Chew on This: Everything You Don't Want to Know About Fast Food" the authors seek to expose youth to "the big picture."
