The Pack contains associated resources for the learning experience, typically in the form of articles and videos. There is a teacher Pack (with only teacher information) and a student Pack (which contains only student information). As a teacher, you can toggle between both to see everything.
Here are the teacher pack items for Southern Europe: Society and Culture:
Overview In this experience, students are introduced to the connection between culture, history, and physical elements of life such as food. Then they explore the distinctions of Mediterranean cuisine. Next, students research and report on a food tradition or celebration of Greece, Italy, or Spain. Finally, they research a Southern European restaurant in their own community and evaluate it based on what they have learned. Objectives:
If you had to describe the food that most reflects who you and your family are, what would you choose? You make the connection between that particular food and your family because food is so much more than food—it is part of our history and our culture. In this experience, you will learn about the food culture of Southern Europe.
Objectives:
Culture and history plunge directly into things, into stones, into wrinkles on human faces, in the taste of wine and oil, into the colour of waves.
–Claudio Magris, Italian Author
What do you think the author means that culture and history “plunge into things”?
Guide students to discuss the way that culture and history connect people to their past and present.
