Character Education Projects

Engage students in exploring cultural diversity through enlightening interviews and vibrant creative projects focused on food. Foster empathy, curiosity, and global awareness.

This 13-page project-based (PBL) unit features three assignments for students to explore cultural diversity through:

• "Mon projet de patrimoine familiale": Interviewing their own family members and creating a brochure or pamphlet summarizing their family's traditions.

• Included with this project is a lesson plan with suggestions, rubric, success criteria, a letter to parents (in both English and French) as well as the interview (in both English and French).

• "Mon héritage culinaire": A class recipe book activity featuring your students' traditional recipes used in their families and passed down through generations.

• Included with this project is success criteria with explanations.

• Includes simple recipe template sheet.

• "L'exploration des plats culturels": A project that will have students creating a realistic, informative ethnic cuisine menu.

• Included with this project are 6 short stories about kids around the world and their culinary traditions (Japan, China, Africa, India, Mexico and Greece).

• Also included are success criteria and explanations as well as a rubric.

I use this product with my 5th graders, but teaching cultural diversity, acceptance and global awareness are universal. This project-based resource would work for students in grades 5 through 9.

For goodness sakes, don't forget to have fun!
