Learn how to engage and inspire students with this innovative approach to teaching World War I through food. The workshop will begin with a discussion of the historical context of the period, including some of the key issues at stake such as World War I on the American home front, the importance of food and food conservation to the war effort, and the place of humanitarianism and hunger relief in US relations with Europe. Master teachers will then provide practical ideas to use in the classroom. They will discuss how best to approach the material and offer tried and tested exercises as well as hints and tips for translating the theory into classroom practice.
