Curriculum Ideas

I have been taking theArtsBridge course for 3 weeks now and I am learning so much about an arts integrated program. We had a guest speaker two weeks ago and she presented her work on political posters. She also showed the class political posters that 7th and 8th grade students at Los Angeles junior high schools created. I have to say that the students work was amazing. The images they created had such powerful messages.
My project is coming along. As I attend Amy's class, I am gaining more ideas for my curriculum. I plan on taking my class to the farmer's market at their school so they get a chance to see what fresh food looks like. I remember going to farmer's market with my mom on Saturday mornings and I want my students to get a chance to do that with me and their families. I also want to include a cooking lesson into my curriculum. I plan on creating cultural meals for my students. This will allow my students to eat something healthy, but also learn the history and culture behind the meal. I hope that this aspect of my curriculum will inspire the students to cook at home with their parents.
