Nutrition - 10th Grade
Overview
In this class, the students will read parts of the book Please Doctor, Do Something by Dr. Joe Nichols. This book explains the basics of organic and natural food and good health. We will prepare many different recipes, but for over a week, we will be preparing the food for the Valentine’s Day Dinner. The last week of the class will focus on Reading Labels with a visit to the grocery store and the coop. At least one guest teacher will present a class during the last week of school. We will also record some diet histories the first week of class and the last week for comparison. Because the students are expected to participate in the Valentine dinner either as cooks or servers on Saturday, February 12th, they will not be expected to prepare a meal at home for their families in this block. Students will have a “main lesson” book of sorts to turn in at the end of class.
