Hi mmadruga,
I wanted to thank you for posting your lesson and to commend the way you structured the Socratic sessions to discuss the geography, and other cultural aspects of Asia with your students. A great way to introduce them into the Asian culture, as well as how you used the you tube videos to differentiate instruction and benefit all students learning paths. I would like to take your lesson and ideas into my classroom, especially the part when you introduced the Ramen history to your students through the timeline of Ramen Development, the preparation, presentation and the 'mastery of chopsticks management ( expert, master, journeyman, and novice). I really enjoyed reading though your lesson and exploring the videos about the untold story of the Noodles, and other you tube videos you chose for this lesson. I can tell you really took the time to structure your lesson in a way that you incorporated the resources we were presented during the workshop about Asian gastronomy and the history of noodles and its creator A wonderful story that I am glad you also included as one of the introductory sections of your lesson. Great ideas to integrate students in the creation of the grading rubric; a productive way to promote accountability and cultural awareness.
