Students at North Sashabaw turned to The Clarkston News for help on an upcoming project.
Fourth and fifth graders at the building are putting a generational cookbook together, and asked The News for some help on interviewing techniques.
The assignment is to get a recipe from someone, and then interview that person on the recipe. Some possible questions include: Where did the recipe come from? Does the recipe have a particular significance? And, How easy is the recipe? After two, 20-minute presentations, the students had a better understanding of how to begin their project.
‘I learned how to get our story, ask questions and do the interview,? said fourth grader Christian Williams.
‘I learned how to ask the right questions,? said fourth grader Meredith Adair.
Once the students gather all their information, the final product will be a generational cookbook that will serve as a community builder.
‘I feel confident because I have family members that cook a lot,? said fifth grader Chelsea Daylewood. ‘I might like doing this.?
The book will be available for the school. Also, teachers hope to bind copies to sell for the ‘Meals on Wheels? organization. The classes hope to have the generational cookbook available at the end of the school year.
‘I feel really good about this assignment,? said fifth grader Austin Teneyck. ‘I learned a lot about writing and we did the assignment last year, so I feel comfortable.?
