Family, Food, and Society: A Teacher's Guide

No. 6336, 1996, 300 pp., $27

This guide is an important new contribution to the body of materials available for teachers, because it suggests an approach to curriculum that challenges students to see the larger ramifications of their daily choices on their local and global communities. Using hands-on experiences and food labs, students learn to examine family and societal goals and how choices about food can help or hinder the realization of these goals. The five modules of the guide, filled with sample handouts and lesson materials, provide a prototype of a high school family, food, and society course.
