Description
Food is a fantastic vehicle to provide an exciting learning adventure that will captivate students as they are the “STARS” in this workshop. Students expand their discovery of the incredible world of cooking, health, and nutrition through this workshop, while they practically apply social studies into their daily lives. The Battle of the Alamo allows students to learn about one of the great events of Texas History that helped shape our nation. They will learn about the issues that lead up to the Battle as they gain perspective from the different players such as David Crockett, William Travis, and others. A lively presentation about the Spanish established settlements and Catholic missions in TX will be given along with the timeline and motivations. Prior to any session or group of sessions, chef educators and classroom teachers may collaborate to insure that program meets classroom TEKS. Discussions, worksheets and activities that use social studies will allow students to make sense of their world while developing life-skills to make healthier choices for their success. Kids will shine as they focus on history, geography, economics, governmental, cultural, citizenship objectives using critical thinking, problem solving, relationship building and technology to develop conclusions through the world of culinary arts.

Students Will
  • Learn about David Crockett, William Travis, James Bowie and American Indians involved with the Battle of the Alamo
  • Learn about the Spanish settlements in Texas
  • Learn about maps and Texas geography
