Engaged Learning

As part of the Exploring History through Simple Recipes series, this book may provide an effective overview of a period of history combined with the strong visuals and food recipes, which could be an effective way to engage ELL and children in special education. A pan of gingerbread might be just the thing to engage students in learning about the Civil War. The teacher might want to organize a debate on a relevant topic. The debate could be about a serious Civil War topic or something as unique debating whether the Union or the Confederacy had better food? The students could write out both sides of the argument, then advocate, then switch sides and argue the opposite side.
