Modern Food Unit

After spending the last few months exploring the ancient beginnings of food production during the Civilization Simulation, we are starting our unit on modern food. The assignment this week is for students to interview a grandparent or someone the age of a grandparent (great-aunt, neighbor, family friend, etc.) Students have in their homework folders a series of interview questions about food.

Please help your child decide on a person to interview and set up a time to conduct the interview. It can be over the phone, in person, via skype, etc. It might be helpful to record the interview to be able to write down the answers. It’s also fine to jot down notes during and write in complete sentences afterwards.

We would like to collect and share the answers on Friday. If your child needs the weekend to conduct the interview, she or he should speak to us tomorrow.
