Home Economic teachers . . . No!

Hello Food Teachers, welcome back to Teachable Tuesdays! So its the start of a new academic year soon and I can almost predict what many Home Economic teachers will be teaching, wait for it . . .

classroom rules, safety and hygiene.

I am not at all saying these topics are unimportant, but have you ever thought of doing something different!

Get out of the box.

Demonstrate a practical lesson e.g. fruit salad, fruit crumble, a salad and pitta

Demonstrate some knife skills. The bridge hold and claw grip chopping up fruit for them to taste

A pricing activity where they look up ingredients from a recipe then cost it out

Scramble an egg then show them how to use the hob and other parts of the cooker

Here are some suggestions:

Think out of the box and do something different for your first lesson. Make it memorable not typical.

Make your Kitchen Your Classroom. I dare you!
