= 2010 - 2011 Project Ideas =

Students from the Jefferson Parish Pub-lic School System have the opportunity to talk and cook with a local chef. Students will research Louisiana products, in relation to their effect on the economy, along with the chef’s life and cooking style. The chosen chef will Skype into the classroom, where students will be able to ask questions, hear personal stories, and, finally, use their active listening skills to cook a dish, as read by the chef. Students will create animations, docu-mentaries, and, podcasts about the project.

 * Project Description**

Students will learn about Southern food, history, and culture. They will Skype with a local working chef, in the chef’s kitchen. The students will then participate in a field trip to the Southern Food and Beverage Museum, where they will have a cooking demonstration with the chef, interview the chef, and tour the museum. Students will research the chef and southern food, using the Internet and work in teams to create podcasts, video, and posters for the project, **to be posted on the museum’s website**.

Butler Elementary students will read the Beignet That Got Away, meet with the authors, and Skype with Cafe Du Monde. West Jeff HS students will read Gumbo Tales, meet with the author, and Skype with Vizzard's.
