2. Working with a group - create a Thanksgiving dinner with words and pictures.

• 1. Create a list of traditional meal items.
• 2. Divide the "preparation" and decide who will research which items. Find out why certain items, such as turkey, are on the menu. What is the story?
• 3. Keep track of your sources.
• 4. Prepare a group booklet, report, PowerPoint, or collage of the meal. Include the stories with the food.
• 5. Post in Canvas by class on Thursday.
• 6. Be sure all names appear at the top of the report.

Homework

Post a recipe that is a family favorite for Thanksgiving or other holiday where family traditionally gathers.
Give credit to the "owner" of the recipe.
In addition, write a paragraph or two about the food, your experience with it, or other funny, serious, or amusing tale where the item was served. Provide a picture if you wish, but this is not required. (50 pts.)
 
I will compile and post these for the class next Tuesday. Be sure to let me know if you do NOT wish to share in print. I will honor your wishes.
