Help Discover The Next Julia Child!

My students need a camcorder and protective case for recording cooking videos.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Giovannoni's classroom raised $331

This project is fully funded

My Students

The next Julia Child might be in my French class! Help these budding chefs make cooking show videos . . . in French!

My students are in French 2, and they come from a variety of socioeconomic backgrounds.

They are currently learning about cooking and food in French class, and they are really excited to test out their skills in the kitchen! They love learning this new language and putting their French skills to use.

My Project

As part of our unit, students create a cooking show video where they narrate their preparation of a simple French dish. While many students have access to cameras at home, several do not. To make the project more equitable/accessible, I would like to have a camera in my classroom that I can lend out to students to use for this project.

Your gift will help my students make cooking videos without worrying about having the necessary technology available at home.

Thank you for thinking of our students and helping them use their French in meaningful ways!
