Great detail
The level of detail and planning going into this project is immensely helpful. Had to tweak a bit for my group but great starting point.
I used this in a rather unorthodox way. I was teaching Env. Science and we were on the topic of human land use and comparing vegan diets to vegetarian and omnivore diets. As an alternative summative assessment, I had student first do some calculations (based on figures in our text) about how much land was required to make a typical meal that they eat during the week. Then I had them look up vegan recipes to compare the caloric intake as well as the land use required. As the final part of the assessment, they had to pick a recipe and bring it to class to try with others. The idea was to get kids to see that vegetarian food could be delicious as well as nutritious and better for the environment. Some didn't take it seriously, but the groups that did (I feel), came away with a greater appreciation for the low environmental impact options at their fingertips.
Thank you!!
