SUMMARY:Food Geography
DESCRIPTION:Summary\nGiven the complexity of our world today\, it’s never too early to introduce students in the elementary grades to geographic thinking. While it’s not unusual for schools to include as part of their cultural programming an experience of “ethnic” foods\, the subject of food can be used in a more substantive way\, acquainting students with the concepts of place\, location\, space\, scale\, pattern and globalization. \nThis presentation will discuss how the celebration of foods and festivals can be taught in a more geographic way- from production to consumption-in conjunction with award winning picture books focused on the food cultures of East Asia\, plus teaching suggestions and resources. \nSession Focus\nEarly Childhood/Elementary | World/international | Foodways\, Asia\, Picture-books \nConference Room\nNebraska \nMeet the Presenter\nNancy Hope\, M.Ed.\, M.F.A.\, M.A.\, is the Executive Director of the Freeman Book Awards\, which recognizes quality literature for young adults and children in East and Southeast Asia. She lived in Japan for 8+ years\, first as a line officer in the United States Navy\, and then as a designer and dyer of kimono. Later as the Associate Director of the Kansas Consortium for Teaching about Asia\, she promoted international education at the K-12 level. \n  \n  \n
