Lunar New Year Sauces

Help me give my students ingredients to prepare their meals from scratch and cook their own delicious and healthy Chinese food.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Herrington's classroom raised $200

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students will have an opportunity to examine Chinese culture. We will also learn about the country and its rich foods. As a group, we will also know how the Chinese New Year has affected American culture. One cultural experience we will explore in-depth is the Lunar New Year. This is an excellent opportunity to teach my students about the Chinese tradition that celebrates life. The different meat sauces, can openers, and oven baking sheets will help guide the students through the history of this festival while preparing Chinese meals and learning basic Chinese vocabulary. These items will be used to make and teach the students about traditional food surrounding this tradition. In the end, students will create their food with a short essay about critical ideas they've learned about the Chinese Lunar New Year. Students will use the bowls to eat the food.

Students will create their own healthy Chinese foods, and then draft short essays using key ideas they've learned about the Chinese Lunar New Year.

Lastly, students will learn that no matter how it is defined, culture gives people a sense of who they are.
