May 19-May23 Lesson Plan Roundup
The lesson plans this week came from a teacher’s request. Both are aligned with A Taste of Emilia-Romagna, a “foodie” tour to Italy!
Parmigiano-Reggiano
Through an in-depth analysis of primary and secondary sources, students in this lesson will identify, understand and be able to explain how traditional Parmigiano-Reggiano is made, why it has such a storied history, and why the name of the cheese is the subject of heated international arguments today.
San Marino - Europe’s Oldest Republic
Through an in-depth analysis of primary and secondary sources, students in this lesson will identify, understand and be able to explain the history behind San Marino, Europe’s oldest constitutional republic, how the tiny microstate was able to stay independent over the centuries, and what status the little republic holds today in the twenty-first century.
