Shirley P. Rauh, FACS chair at Lutheran High School South in St. Louis, submitted the following Lesson Plan as a “teaching tip” entry in the 2007 CAFÉ Scholarship program that awarded four winners grants toward registration at a CAFÉ workshop or the Leadership Conference this summer.
For the final activity of the class—which accounts for 20% of course grade—each student plans, purchases ingredients for, prepares and serves a meal for four to six people (including the student) with a soup or salad, entree, starch, vegetable, bread, dessert and beverage. During finals week, there is also a culinary-vocabulary exam, from which seniors maintaining an “A” grade are exempt.
An MS Word document, which can be downloaded here, contains pre-planning, grocery-list, time-plan and evaluation hand-outs for the gourmet final at Lutheran High School South.
CAFÉ congratulates Rauh for her entry, which earned her a continuing-education grant of $200 this year. CAFÉ welcomes entries in the 2008 program, which will award grants for attendance at next year’s CAFÉ workshops and the Leadership Conference.
