Hello all!
As per usual, my history class went off on a huge tangent, this time talking about hypothetical disasters that could threaten the world today. Using this as a teachable moment, I had students consider this scenario. They could not get to any stores because there was no transportation or communication. They had just a limited supply of food in their homes and the electricity was out. All they would have to eat was what they could find in the woods or fields. What things do you know of within walking distance that you could safely eat? How would you cook them, and if you couldn't cok, how would you feel about chewing on raw fish and wild grain? If you wanted to start growing food, where would you start?
Long story short, we were probably in trouble...
