Produktbeschreibung

What did it really take for that chocolate chip cookie to get into your hands? After all, it wasn't so long ago that the cookie did not exist! In the Chocolate Chip Cookie School, kids 8+ travel in time and space to discover the invention stories, happy accidents, hard work and history behind what made our favorite cookie possible. It's all about critical thinking through cookies. In Part 1, kids LEARN cookie history, exploring each chocolate chip cookie ingredient as Cookie Detectives. Topics and challenges span history, idioms, inventions, baking science, food system changes, social science facts and even product design. In Part 2, kids have the chance to MAKE cookie history as Cookie Entrepreneurs. Assignments include finding a customer, researching what's behind cookie brands, then planning a bake sale or cookie business as a project-based team (or solo) activity. Kids will see how school comes in handy in the real world and how strong character skills can lead to amazing results - like inventing the most popular cookie in America. There's no limit to what our beloved cookie can teach! Designed for education: The book is full of original illustrations and formatted as 8 1/2 x 11, for easy writing and to inspire creativity. Printable worksheets and activities add to a learning experience that will stick with kids for a lifetime.

Autorenporträt

What happens when "making chocolate chip cookies" tops your list of things that make you happy? If you're Susie, you teach your niece and nephew to make cookies. Then when they ask about all the ingredients history and cookie chemistry, you realize how cookies are an incredibly fun way to learn math, history, social science, English, etc. You put your nose to the grindstone, put your eggs in one basket and take what you've learned from being a business strategist, artisan food storyteller, kids' writer coach along with authoring a "how to start a food business" book (Good Food, Great Business) to create the CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIE SCHOOL! That's my journey, and I hope parents, educators and kids join this exciting new chapter in cookie history and education.
