DescriptionPen and Paper Method

1. Everybody can recall a special meal or food item that brings back memories. I think of my grandmother’s perogies and cabbage rolls that we always had at Christmas time. Those foods bring back many memories for me.

2. Have each of the students recall a food item that brings back special memories for them. The student should obtain the recipe for this food item and bring the recipe to class.

3. The students should then write a descriptive story telling why the recipe means so much to them. The story should include words that describe touch, taste, sound, smell, and sight. A blackline master entitled, Recipes and Memories Template, has been included for the students’ use

4. The class may want to create a class cookbook that includes the recipes and stories. Of course, publishing the recipes will depend on the degree to which the ingredients are secret to the family.

Sub-Skills Needed:

1. Writing strategies

Materials Needed

1.The students’ recipes.

2. Copies of the blackline master entitled, Recipes and Memories Template, - one for each student.
