Wiki+Cookbook


 * NETS addressed with this activity: NETS 1, 3, 5, 6 **


 * Students will compile a cookbook that reflects special "**Family Recipes**" that are indicative of their family's heritage. The utilization of **Inspiration** will serve as a vehicle for pre-writing activities used for The Writing Process: How-to Instructions. A wiki will be created so each child can contribute one favorite family recipe and share the recipe online with classmates, family, and friends.


 * Students will be asked to write a **"How-to"** paragraph describing the steps involved in creating the family recipe of their choice. **Inspiration** will aid the students with organizing their thoughts and ideas with the help of graphic organizers. Each student will be assigned a page on the wiki that includes the origin of the student's recipe and the recipe written with sequential directions.


 *  **Assessment**: Students will place recipes here http://themeltingpotcookbook.wikispaces.com
 * **Rubric**: [[file:Wiki Rubric.docx]] [[file:Wiki Rubric.pdf]]
