News2You - Herb Garden

Subject:
News2You
Topic:
Herb Garden
Objective:
Students should be able to build understanding of the different uses of herbs from the News2You PowerPoint. The students should be able to independently answer comprehension questions.
Reflection:
This was a fun lesson to deliver. I am very familiar with herbs since we grow them during the summer in my family. I am also an excellent cook, so I was able to add to the PowerPoint by drawing on my personal experiences as to which herb is best for which dish. For example, for my macaroni and cheese that I make from scratch, I found that parsley is best with a hint of cilantro for a little kick. I informed the students of this. I also took it upon myself to remind students that while herbs and other plants may be edible, it does not mean that every plant is edible as some are poisonous or dangerous to touch. The students seemed to enjoy this lesson and have a great prior understanding of how plants need sunlight and water to grow.
