Instructional Ideas

• Show the video on its own, or use it in conjunction with the additional activities
• If baking is not an option for your class, make the two types of cornbread in advance for your class to try

Classroom Considerations

• The star of the video is a young girl, and while kids should relate to her because of her age, her voice is somewhat quiet; you may need to turn the volume up a bit

Pros

• See the materials tab for activities, which include a short informational text, a baking exercise, and a matching game

Cons

• None
