Planning
This project is intended to reinforce the significance of the connection between food, culture, and identity.
To explore this further, you will hold an exhibition about traditional foods and literature in countries where English is an official language.
In communities and with the help of your teacher or another adult, search on the internet or in books for the list of countries where English is an official language.
Each community will choose a country. One or two communities will be in charge of presenting the traditions and culture of your community or region.
Each community must research the chosen country's traditional food, literature, art, and culture, or the ones corresponding to your community or region, to start preparing their presentation for the Culture Fair.
Listening
Food is extremely important for culture and identity, so it plays a relevant role in other artistic and cultural manifestations like literature,cinema, painting, and music.
Individually, considering everyone else, look for information about food connected with other artistic and cultural manifestations; share your findings with the rest of the class.
2.Discuss which findings are especially appealing or exciting for you and why.
An example of the connection between food, culture, and identity can be seen in the story of Anansi. Anansi,or Ananse, is a character in many traditional African and Caribbean stories.It is a witty spider who has many friends and loves food. Some of the stories about Anansi are related to food and eating.
