7th Grade Humanities students have been learning all about Africa and the cultures within it. We’ve studied the geography of the continent, analyzed Nigerian literature, and unpacked the history of colonization and apartheid in South Africa. Today we decided to bring our curriculum to the kitchen, by taking the entire school on a culinary tour of Africa! We listened to Ladysmith Black Mambazo as we diced veggies for the kachumbari salad and jollof rice, sliced aromatic piri piri chicken, and rolled and fried up delectable mandazi before tossing them in cardamom and sugar (and then taste-testing more than a few)! The 7th grade students had a wonderful time connecting their academic understandings to their stomachs and it was a tasty day for all!
