Class content
Our focus will be on writing about many different aspects of food. Here are the class topics we are going to tackle together (subject to change):

Be a food detective! Research the origins and interesting details about a certain food you're curious about and then tell us all about it in writing.

Hunger Among Us: After learning facts about hunger in the San Francisco community, write a letter to the Mayor recommending your original solution to the problem.

There's a Fly in My Soup! Create a funny (and mildly gross) story of a food mishap.

Family Recipes & Celebrations: Think of Christmas, Easter, Passover, Thanksgiving, 4th of July picnics, and big birthdays. What is usually the centerpiece of these celebrations? (FOOD!) What does it mean when something is a tradition in your family? We're going to write a detailed scene about a family celebration and its food!
