Teaching Tip: Ultimate Classroom Thanksgiving Feast

By: Teachnology Video Staff: See This Tip On Video!

We pooled our brain-power to design a interdisciplinary Thanksgiving Feast. Here is how we would do it.
1. Make thankful placemats.
2. Graph our favorite thanksgiving foods.
3. Do a nutritional breakdown of the foods.
4. Nominate and vote for 5-7 items to have at our feast.
5. Calculate exactly how much money is needed.
6. Fundraise and re-evaluate how much is needed.
7. Send invitations.
8. Teach students how to set a table.
9. Have students learn to cook.
10. Learn to say “Thank you!” in 10 languages.
