SR GCE Portfolio

Throughout this unit we were able to learn the origin of foods but at the same time we were able to learn our families food origins. Through this process we were also able to speak to family members to get an insider perspective of how they interpret their traditional foods. The purpose of this Action Project is to not only explore the process of foods but to also explore your own personal process of special family foods that signify your family and culture. SR.FamilyTree.2018 Overall this unit was very important we were able to see other traditions but also ours and the meaning of our food that important to our family. I enjoyed this AP because I feel like it got me closer to culture and family talking about different dishes and different foods that are important and meaningful to us and relatives.

Throughout this term we were studying natural farming and the techniques that we should use. By doing this we read “One Straw Revolution” by Fukuoka. When reading this book we were discussing the principles and the reason behind Fukuoka’s theory. The this AP we are pretending to have a garden and how we would sort the plants out for their health and growth we also leaned onto Fukuoka's theory for inspiration!                                                 Overall this AP was very useful for us and the environment. We are now able to better ourselves when it comes to gardening and the purpose of gardening too. I believe that the most interesting part of this unit is learning about how plants interact with others. I really enjoyed this AP because we were able to show what we learned in our own preference.
