This lesson teaches students about global foods and cultures. Students sample ethnic foods, discuss food preferences, and view photos of family meals around the world. In groups, students research an assigned country and create a concept map about its history, geography, trade, culture, and cuisine. Groups present their maps and a traditional recipe. An international feast allows students to try one another's dishes. A guest speaker further discusses their country's cuisine. Through this project, students gain appreciation for diverse foods and cultures.
