Progress Check

I've been learning a lot about enhancing the youth through cooking. I've been focusing my research on how cooking helps children in planning, making decisions, solving problems, and leading others. Cooking and learning about healthy food options is vital to a child's development to prevent from obesity and other health problems. I need to know more about specific teaching mechanism to help children enjoy cooking more. I would perhaps like to create lesson plans about teaching children how to cook, the importance of eating healthy, and focusing around eating with family. I believe that cooking brings out creativity in children, they can experiment with foods they like, and it also makes them feel independent and mature.

Target Audience

Teachers, most likely teaching classes targeted around health, will benefit from my 20% project the most. I want to try and create lesson plans surrounded my teaching children how to cook. I would focus the lesson plans with easy recipes that are simply to compile in the classroom with minimal recipes. My 20% project could also be benefitted from children to learn the benefits of cooking and healthy eating. Students who are over weight would probably benefit from reading my project to learn the importances of eating healthy. The information in my project will also focus around healthy recipes and the importance of living a healthy lifestyle over a non healthy one.

Product

As stated before, I think lesson plans are the best way to relay information to my target audience, teachers.  I think a google site is the best mode to deliver my information. I am not very good with technology, and a google site is easy to compile, and I can attach videos and links to the site easily. Google site's is also a nice way to organize and make any project look professional. My website is going to look youthful, since children will be viewing the site. I will deliver my project with lesson plans, you tube videos, and websites to education children and teachers about cooking and healthy eating.
